I’m green and leafy, I clean the air, I give you shade and show I care
Tree
With teeth I bite but have no jaw, cutting wood without a flaw.
Saw
You stop at me when I’m red and go when I’m green.
A Traffic Light
I carry memories older than you, but I still shine like something new.
A Senior Citizen
I’m wet and wide, homes fish and whales enjoy, but pollute me and life I’ll destroy.
Ocean
I mix things up but not in strife, I bring cement and water to life.
Cement Mixer
The more you press me, the faster we go.
The Gas Pedal
I’m silver on top and wise in my talk.
Gray Hair
I blow without wings, I howl and sing, I power mills and make kites spring.
Wind
Though I have no eyes, I help you see, making lines straight as can be.
Level
I’m full of signs but don’t talk.
Highway
I’m worn on your eyes to help you see, especially when the print is tiny like a flea.
Reading Glasses
You throw me out, I pile up fast, recycle me or I won’t last.
Trash
I’m full of holes but strong as stone, I help to build each wall and home.
Brick
I cool things down when the car gets hot.
The Air Conditioner
I’m soft, cozy, and often knit, perfect for a senior’s sit.
A Blanket or Shawl
You plant me once, I grow with care, I fight pollution everywhere.
Seed
I’m tall when I’m young, but I shrink when I’m old; I hold up buildings and never fold.
Beam
You buckle me up before we go.
Seatbelt
I count your steps and steady your pace, always ready, just in case.
