riddle #61

I do this all the time

Don’t ask exactly when

I have never injured another by doing this to them

Be wary of brown spiders

And one renowned boxing fighter

You may take it from crime

Or get them from bears

But be aware

What you do to food can cause you pain too

riddle #60

I am a noun eaten as a snack

I am a verb that comes with a crack

Most of what I am is thin so I do not fear a dip

Though I do not claim to be I am akin to a rip

I can crunch and be munched

But my noun will not eat

You may see a dentist

If you have me on your teeth

riddle #59

I may never end

But I’m only a line

I can shrink and extend

And envelope and confine

I am the currents

If I am a moat then I can defend

Life and death

And life again

There is none of me that is alike

If you like someone then get theirs right

What do adults have that kids may not

There are a lot of counting variable combinations

Punch me correct to have a conversation

Always grouped 3-3-4

Never less, but maybe one more

riddle #58

What is golden though only brief?

Stirs contentedly as we sleep

Unless deterred by a restless dream

It is not a physical action

But comes hand in hand with grief

Come seek with me,

And maybe this we’ll find

Bitter benefits, pair and prosper,

Pursuit shall we reap
