Answer:
What can be forever wound up but never annoyed?
I can be written, I can be spoken, I can be exposed, I can be broken.
I build up castles. I tear down mountains. I make some men blind. I help others to see.
I can ruin your day, or darken your life. And while I'm expected, I'm never alright. I'm bad for business, and worse for your hair. Wherever I am, there's something not there.
A house full, a yard full, a chimney full, no one can get a spoonful.
What never gets any wetter no matter how hard it rains?
