I am a good state, there can be no doubt of it;
But those who are in, entirely are out of it.
Sane; insane.

Formed long ago, yet made to-day,
I'm most employed while others sleep;
What none would like to give away,
Yet no one likes to keep.
Bed.

My first of anything is half,
My second is complete;
And so remains until once more
My first and second meet.
Semi-circle.

You've an A at the end of your name,
The whole of your name is an A,
And it's backwards and forwards the same.
Anna.

Never staying at one place,
Through the world I make my tour,
Everywhere at the same hour.
