I Start Out The Same As Others
I start out the same as others,
Then grow to four legs and four arms,
And two hearts beat inside,
Until the separation.
What am I?
A pregnant woman is like other women, then the baby forms, and then is delivered.
Leave a Grieving Wife
If you throw me from the window,
I’ll leave a grieving wife.
Bring me back, but in the door and,
You’ll see something giving life.
What am I?
The answer is the letter ‘n’. Taking ‘n’ out of window makes widow. And putting ‘n’ back into door makes donor.
I Make You See the Beauty of Nature
I make you see the beauty of nature through colors,
My name makes things weigh less
And I have no weight at all.
What am I?
Light. Without light you wouldn’t be able to see anything. And light is made up of all the colors of the rainbow. Adding light to a word can mean it weighs less and light has no mass.
Another Name for Shiva
My first three is another name for the Hindu god Shiva.
My last four create something to wear.
Together I might use a scythe.
What am I?
Harvest.
Har is another name for Shiva.
A vest is something you wear.
And a harvest might use a scythe.
The Same Upside Down
A word of five letters,
Upside down is the same,
A shark does this,
But it’s not to blame.
What is the word?
SWIMS.
If you turn the word upside down it’s the same word (the W and M flip to resemble themselves). A shark swims to attack, but it’s not bad. Sharks are just trying to eat. I’d still recommend you swim away if you see one swimming toward you.
The Most Precious Commodity
What is the most precious commodity?
That which when needed seemingly is never enough,
Yet otherwise can be boringly plentiful.
While waking is oft dreamt of,
Whilst pining can scarcely be thought of.
For beings, is allotted in finite but indefinite quantity.
The more that’s given, the more is wasted.
Freedom is akin though this is something more simple,
Not related to virtue or sin.
Unless perhaps, without freedom, or its limit.
What is it?
Time.
(Thanks for submitting this one Duke)
Dancing All The Time
Moving to and fro,
Dancing all the time.
Only to be moved by others
To allow them to pass by.
What am I?
A door.
I Stretch The Length of A Football Field
I stretch as far as a football field,
Yet I fit in the palm of your hand.
I will make you bleed if you don’t use me often.
You put me in your mouth but don’t eat me,
Then you throw me away.
What am I?
Floss. It typically comes in 100 yard packs, which fit easily in your hand. If you don’t floss regularly, your gums will bleed. You use floss in your mouth then throw it away when you’re done.
This Is What Some People Do
This is what some people do,
For a compliment or two,
Anglers do it on a bank,
Others keep theirs in a tank.
What am I?
A fish. Some people fish for compliments, anglers are fishermen and fish live in a tank.
I Can Be Broken Yet I Hold On
I am a word with two meanings. With one I can be broken, with the second I hold on. What am I?
Tie. A tie score can be broken, but when you tie a knot (as in a necktie) it holds together.
