A potato has eyes, but cannot see.
A stool has a leg, but not a knee.
A river can run, but does not walk.
A clock has a face, but does not talk.
A comb has teeth, but cannot chew.
A nail has a head, but no hairdo.
A guitar has a neck, but does not swallow,
A chair has an arm, but does not free throw.
A napkin likes food, but cannot eat.
A pitcher has a beak, but cannot tweet.
A shoe has a tongue, but cannot taste.
A pin has a head, but not a face.
You have two eyes, so you can see.
Can you read every one of these?
