If You Break Me, I Don’t Stop Working
If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.
Your heart.
More Than a Few
Nothing specific,
but more than a few.
This many clustered
together will do.
Bunch. It’s a vague term that means more than a few. And clustered items like bananas, grapes or celery come in bunches.

What Work is Never Finished?
What work can one never finish?
An autobiography. Unless you’re writing it in your death bed I suppose, but even then, how will you be able to record the time of death?
In Times Of War He Burns Asunder
Man walks over, man walks under,
In times of war he burns asunder.
What is it?
A bridge.
If My Hand Is Forced I Can Sink Ships
I move quickly with hurried steps,
If my hand is forced I can sink ships,
I’ll cause you to shudder when driving your car,
And haul your fuel to where you are,
I’ll watch you bleed from a cut,
Add a rear and I’ll tell you what’s what.
What am I?
Scuttle. To scuttle is to scurry or run hurriedly. Scuttling is the deliberate sinking of your own ship. Scuttle shake is felt in convertibles where the passengers feel a distinct shudder. A coal scuttle is a bucket-like container to haul coal. A shaving scuttle holds hot water when you’re shaving. And adding a “rear” forms scuttlebutt, or rumors and gossip.
