All Like Me Would Now Retire
I work hard most every day,
Not much time to dance and play,
If I could reach what I desire,
All like me would now retire.
What am I?
A doctor. They work hard to eradicate illness, but if they ever succeeded, they would no longer be needed. Hey, that even rhymed!
No Head On Which A Hat To Place
I always run but never walk,
I sometimes sing but cannot talk,
No head on which a hat to place,
You always look me in the face.
What am I?
A clock. It runs all the time, it “sings” for hourly chimes, cuckoos or alarms, it doesn’t have a head (but does have hands) and you look a clock in the face to tell the time.
Nile Rebus
What does this represent?
NILE
HO HO HO
Nylon hose (literally nile on ho’s)
Stink When Alive
I stink when I’m alive, but I smell good when I’m dead. What am I?
A pig. Mmm, ham and bacon…
Blow for Blow They Matched Each Other
Blow for blow,
they matched each other.
Neither would fall to the other.
In the eyes of the crowd,
they were this.
Equal.

Tear One Off And Scratch My Head
Tear one off and scratch my head. What once was red is black instead. What am I?
A match.
This is a duplicate of red black instead, but I’m leaving them both to avoid broken links.
Hot My Entire Life
I have been hot my entire life. Put me in water or in a freezer for days and I will still be hot. My red color should tell you but don’t be deceived, even when I’m green, I’m still hot. What am I?
A red or green laser. Red and green pepper also works.
Technically, the laser beam itself isn’t hot, but lasers can heat up what they’re shining on.
