Alive Without Breath
Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Clad in mail never clinking,
Never thirsty, ever drinking
A fish.
I Can Be Long or Short
I can be long, or I can be short.
I can be grown, and I can be bought.
I can be painted, or left bare.
I can be round, or square.
What am I?
A fingernail.
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.
Everyone Has It
Everyone has it.
Those who have it least don’t know that they have it.
Those who have it most wish they had less of it,
but not too little or none at all.
Age. Young children don’t even know their age and extremely old folks wish they could turn back the hands of time, but not so much that they’re too young or they no longer have an age at all.

All About But Can’t Be Seen
All about, but cannot be seen,
Can be captured, cannot be held
No throat, but can be heard.
Sounds / noises. Wind also works.
