Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Yes, it's popcorn! So...
Small and round, I curl up tight
Green and closed, but soon I'll be bright
I'll spread my color out to the light!

Reda, you're so smart! I will go ahead and give credit for a flower seed, although I was really looking for a flower bud. It's the same idea! Also my students guessed "caterpillar," which I thought was a brilliant answer, too.
Here's another:
Five little sisters,
Sitting on a hill
We have hard little caps,
And we bend at will.

Fingers, caps being fingernails?

Yes! I'll have to see if I can remember any of the harder ones again...

What do people own that others use more than them?
(and it's not a doorbell)
