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?
