Completely round is fairly rare
Bright and shiny when I'm there
When I'm not, they call me new
But I'm old, older than you.
What am I?
I am free for the taking through all of your life,
Though given but once at birth.
I am less than nothing in weight,
But will fell the strongest of you if held.
What am I?
I have a head.
I have a tail.
I haven't got a body.
Walk on the living, they don't even mumble.
Walk on the dead, they mutter and grumble.
Where may you find roads without carts, forests without trees, cities without houses?
We are very little creatures;
all of us with different features.
One of us in glass is set,
one of us you'll find in jet.
Another you may find in tin,
another is boxed within.
If the fifth you should pursue,
it can never fly from you.
