Come Out and Play
A few silly riddles may brighten your day;
So come sit beside me and conjure away!
Unravel the clues in each stanza below;
(The answers are found at the end dontcha know!)
I can be felt, but alas, never heard;
I can be broken with only a word;
I cant be touched or seen when Im there;
Yet I am golden, because Im so rare.
Im sure to be found in everyones home;
Still I am totally useless alone;
Although Ive no life, yet I can die;
I charge for my services, now, what am I?
I can be broken without being touched;
Im useless unless you//'//re willing to trust;
To some Im a lock without any key;
Beware those who offer me up carelessly!
The further you take me the more we are parted;
No matter the time or the place where we started.
If you would abandon me, take to the sky;
I know how to walk; but not how to fly.
I cannot see you, and I am mute;
Yet I will always tell you the truth.
Forbidden am I all falsehoods to grace;
Honestys written all over my face.
Alas, those who make me never will try me;
Ill not be used by those who will buy me;
They that will use me never will know;
Ill take them nowhere, wherever they go.
Those who have me want to share me;
Those who give me, do so rarely.
Im yours but for one caveat;
Share me and you have me not.
I have traveled everywhere;
I am welcomed far and near;
Yet in my corner I remain;
Never to be used again.
Poor folks have it; wealthy need it.
And youll die if you should eat it.
Multiply it endlessly;
And it remains what used to be.
Silence; A Battery; A Promise; Footprints; A Mirror; A Coffin; A Secret; A Stamp; Nothing

| I couldn/'/t solve any stanza. I saw the answers and read it again and got goosebumps at how clever each stanza was crafted. My favorite was the promise riddle. This one/'/s for Reader/'/s Digest. Exceptional! |
