Riddle for English Class

September 04 2006


I’m a tool most people possess:


You need me to live comfortably.


My shape, it can vary from narrow to boxy


But always I’m strong and I’m sharp.


Some people are paid to get rid of me,


The youngest and oldest don’t need me,


You wouldn’t want just one of me:


I’m useless all by myself.


When it comes to my appearance,


Conformity is the key:


Much money is spent on how I look


And my function follows my form.


But don’t be deceived by my glamour,


Or think that I’m only for show:


You’d be nearly helpless without me,


And frustrated, ugly, and thin.



 


What am I?
