Answer:
I can be in your body but never on your placemat. I'm always better when I'm fresh, but you'll never see me in the flesh. What am I?
I have no head and a tail I lack but I do have arms and legs and back; I inhabit the palace the tavern the cot 'tis a beggarly residence where I am not. If a monarch were present (I tell you no fable) I still should be placed at the head of the table.
I am a sharp looking horse with a flaxen tail. The longer I run the shorter my tail becomes.
What can you catch but never throw?
I can wake you up in the morning but I require no electricity or winding.
The answer I give is yes, but what I mean is no. What was the question?
