You measure my life in hours
I serve you by expiring
I vanish faster when I am thin
and slower when I am thick
The wind is my energy
What am I?

A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first. What am I?

I shave every day, but my beard stays the same. What am I?

What is in seasons, seconds, centuries and minutes but not in decades, years or days?

As a whole I am both
safe and secure.

Behead me and I become
a place of meeting.

Behead me again and I am
the partner of ready.

Restore me, and I become
the domain of beasts.

What am I?

Your mother’s brother’s only brother-in-law is asleep on your couch. Who is asleep on your couch?

Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What is it?

What is full of holes but still holds water?

I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?

I come in different shapes and sizes.
Parts of me are curved, other parts are straight.
You can put me anywhere you like,
but there is only one right place for me.
What am I?
