What has cities, but no houses; forests, but no trees; and water, but no fish?
A map
What is always in front of you but can't be seen?
The future
I go up, however I never descend.
Your age
I can be heard but not seen, I can be spoken but not touched.
A voice
I can be long or short, I can be sweet or sour, I am often enjoyed in different forms but not always understood.
a story
What has a neck without a head, two arms, and a body?
a shirt
What's bought by the yard and worn by the foot?
a carpet
I’m weighty forward, however in reverse I’m not.
A ton
I can be broken, made, told, and played. I’m frequently used to ease up the mind-set yet can likewise be intricate.
A riddle or a joke
I can be full of life but have no life of my own; I can be colorful or plain and still be of use.
A painting
What is full of holes but still holds water?
a sponge
I can fly without wings. I can cry without eyes. Any place I go, murkiness flies.
A cloud
I get wetter as I dry.
A towel
I can travel across oceans without a vessel, and my presence is often both subtle and profound
A message
I can consume a room, but I consume no room.
A light
What question can you never answer yes to?
"Are you asleep?"
I can be flipped and broken, but I will not at any point move.
A light switch
I have one eye, yet I can’t see
A needle
I am everywhere but often go unnoticed; I can be warm or cold but never seen.
Air
I’m not alive, but I can create. I don’t have lungs, yet I truly need air. I don’t have a mouth, but water kills me.
A fire
The more you take, the more you leave.
Steps
I’m in many cases running, yet I have no legs. You want me yet here and there you squander me.
time
I have no life, yet I can pass on.
A battery
I am invisible but can be felt; I am silent but can create noise; I have no form but can shape events.
an emotion
I run, but never walk. I have a bed, but I will not at any point rest. I have a mouth, but I will not at any point eat.
A stream
