Gollum
What month of the year has 28 days?
All of them
What has many keys but can’t open a single lock?
A piano
"What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?"
A mountain
I’m an acrobat and a chatty chap,
I travel with friends but I need no map,
I feed my children the milk of the sea,
And in France, I’m considered royalty.
Dolphin
What is full of holes but still holds water?
A sponge
I’m light as a feather, yet the strongest person can’t hold me for five minutes. What am I?
Your breath
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.
Teeth
I’m among the world’s most unwelcome guests,
I crash whichever party I like best,
And am known as an dirty reveler,
Though, I am a beautiful traveler.
Meteor (or Comet)
What can you break, even if you never pick it up or touch it?
A promise
What has hands, but can’t clap?
"Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters."
Wind
An auspicious gift or a deadly plot?
If you were standing there, right on the spot,
Would you sense the fall of a great city?
I gallop over sin, without pity.
Trojan Horse
I shave every day, but my beard stays the same. What am I?
A barber
What has one head, one foot and four legs?
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
Dark
I am a net for catching intruders,
A weapon for a cold blooded murder
An elegant plate for eating supper
And a mode of transport that is super.
A spider web
I have branches, but no fruit, trunk or leaves. What am I?
A bank
I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?
A candle
"This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down."
Time
Turn me upside down and I’m right side up
Empty my glass and you fill up my cup,
I’m always on time and I’m never late,
I never go backwards at any rate.
An Hourglass
