I Am What Remains
I am what remains of what
was once a living whole,
dug in deep, protruding, though,
and unobtainable.
A stump.

Travel a Lot Meet Both Rich and Poor
I travel a lot and meet both the rich and the poor, but nobody knows where I am going next. I’m invisible but you can see what I do. Who or what am I?
Wind (or anything blown by the wind). It moves all over, reaches the rich and the poor equally and no one knows exactly which way the next gust of wind will blow. You can’t see the wind, but you can see what it blows, like leaves or dust.
Cannot Hear or Even See
I cannot hear or even see,
But sense light and sounds there may be,
Sometimes I end up on a hook,
I can be combined with a book.
What am I?
A worm. Worms don’t have eyes or ears, but they can sense light and their bodies can detect vibrations in the ground. Fishers use worms as bait and the term bookwork is used for someone who loves to read.
Something To Everybody And Nothing To Everyone Else
What is something to everybody and nothing to everyone else?
Your mind.
I Always Tell the Truth
You see me quite often,
But don’t really care.
If you pass by me,
You’ll often stop and stare.
I can’t speak or see,
But don’t think me uncouth,
Because no matter what,
I always tell the truth.
What am I?
A mirror.
A Blade of Jagged Cut
Has a blade of jagged cut.
Keeps the quickest hand out shut.
Goes in darkness. Wears a ring.
One is quiet. Many sing.
A key. It has a jagged cut in order to fit the lock. A locked door keeps people out and the keyhole is dark. Key rings are a common way to hold a set of keys, and when you’re using a key that one is quiet, but the rest jingle and jangle.

Apples for Leather
Apples for leather,
leather for silk,
silk for tobacco,
all to get milk.
Bartering.
