Cannot Keep Until Given
You cannot keep me until you have given me. What am I?
Your word.
Stink When Alive
I stink when I’m alive, but I smell good when I’m dead. What am I?
A pig. Mmm, ham and bacon…
I Make Memories That Last a Lifetime
I make memories that last a lifetime,
Without me you’ll be miserable,
If you miss me you can gourge and it’s okay.
Some say I am naturally split in two.
What am I?
Sleep. It’s the time your mind organizes memories and knowledge. Sleep deprivation is miserable (as you well know if you’ve experienced it). If you miss a few nights of sleep, you can sleep more to catch up with no problems. And some believe that segmented sleep, where you sleep, wake for an hour, then go back to sleep, was the dominant form of sleep before the Industrial Revolution.
Always Old, Sometimes New
Always old, sometimes new.
Never sad, sometimes blue.
Never empty, sometimes full.
Never pushes, always pulls.
What am I?
The moon. The moon has been around for quite some time, but there’s a “new” moon every month or so. A Blue moon is a rare event. The moon is a body of rock, so it’s never empty, but we do see what we call a full moon some nights. And the moon’s gravity “pulls” on the ocean to create low and high tides, but it doesn’t push anyone around because it’s a friendly fellah.
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.
What Gives Life and Love
What gives life and love, and is there till they die?
What can hide you and find you, heal you and feed you but should never give up on you?
A mother.
In Heaven But Not in Hell
I am in heaven but not in hell.
I’m in the devil but not in god.
I’m in the river but not in the sea.
What am I?
The letter “v”.
Together As One
I am word with six letters.
My motto is together as one.
If you remove my first and second letters, you can wear me.
If you remove my third letter I can be painful.
If you remove my second, third and sixth letters, Adam & Eve did it.
If you remove my second and third letters, you do this using your mouth.
What am I?
String. A string ties objects together. You wear a ring, a sting hurts, according to the Bible, Adam & Eve committed a sin and you sing with your mouth.
Swallowed the Dead
I’ve swallowed the dead,
Of a torn land’s end.
And I hold the remains,
Of an unknown friend
A mansion once stood,
Where I now lay,
We honor all those
Who gave us today.
What am I?
Arlington National Cemetery, the burial place of soldiers from the United States Civil War. It also houses the tomb of unknown soldiers. General Robert E. Lee’s mansion once stood on the land that is now occupied by the cemetery. And on Memorial Day in the US, we honor all those who died while serving their country’s armed forces.
