Wench and Warrior
Round and round and round it goes,
The source but not the birth of clothes,
Wench and warrior, child and crone,
Without it dressed near barer bone.
A spinning wheel. It goes around in circles and makes the thread that is used in clothing and anyone who isn’t wearing clothes would be barer boned.
Twist and Dance
I love to twist and dance.
Though wingless, I fly high in the sky.
What am I?
A kite.
What Has Hair and Leaks?
What has hair and leaks when something bad happens?
Your eye. Your eyelashes are the hair and when something bad happens, your cry.
What are the Things?
In one day, 6 things.
In one week, 4 things.
In one month, 2 things.
In one year, 1 thing.
What are the things?
Odd numbers.
In a day, there are 6 odd hours: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 (ignoring 24-hour time).
In a week, there are 4 odd-numbered days: 1, 3, 5, 7
In a month, there are 2 odd weeks: 1, 3 (no month has 5 full weeks)
And in a year’s 12 months, there is 1 odd number: 1 (the 1 of 12).
I readily agree the year one is a stretch, but I didn’t write it :)
Only Found In The Past
You will only ever find me in the past. I am created in the present but the future can never taint me. What am I?
History
Measures Out Time
I measure out time,
Until in time,
All is smashed into me.
What am I?
Sand
A Human with Five Hands
How can a human have five hands?
In addition to the two hands on the end of their arms, they also have three hands of cards. Another alternative could be handwriting, of which most people have one, but that could be added into the mix.
Two Bodies Joined in One
Two bodies have I, though both joined in one,
The more I stand still the faster I run.
What am I?
An hourglass.
Say My Name
Say my name and I disappear. What am I?
Silence.
An alternate version is, “What is so fragile it breaks when you say its name?”
