I’m what loans always cost you; what savings can make;
I’m what draws your attention to snap you awake;
I’m romantic potential; your claim to a stake;
And a subject or hobby you choose to partake.

I’m found up in the air, on the birds, on the planes;
I’m a unit of squadrons the Air Force maintains;
In the West, I’m a place where the Oval remains;
And to lack preparation, but count on your brains.

Who am I?

I am clothes that pair well when the color’s the same;
The deliberate joining of sire and dame;
A contention of athletes; the last tennis game;
And a stick in a book with potential to flame.

Who am I?

Though you call me a veggie, I’m really a fruit;
I’m a racquet-ball game with a healthy repute;
I’m to put down, suppress, or just crush with a boot;
And a drink that has water and juice at its root.

Who am I?

I’m an army of angels; I’m bread that is blessed;
I’m a taker of graft; and I welcome a guest;
I run point on a talk show or singing contest;
And the ill-fated body a demon possessed.

Who am I?

I’m a unit of stock in a platinum mine;
I’m to access the music of others online;
The percentage of viewers the Nielsens assign;
And when you and your date drink a bottle of wine.

Who am I?

I’m an alloy that’s used to make serious tacks;
I’m a trumpet, trombone, bugle, tuba, or sax;
When a person is bold in the way that he acts;
Or the top-ranking leaders commanding attacks.

Who am I?

Riddle me this…

I’m a mammal with sonar – my flight never crashes;
I am useful in baseball; or winning the Ashes;
I’m to toss an idea; or to flutter one’s lashes;
And for young Jewish girls, I’m a reason for bashes.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

I am blue on the phone; I am black on the plane;
I’m a place to get mail; or I chocolates contain;
I’m a jury’s location; a car on the train;
And to fight with no spite that you might entertain.

Who am I?

I’m an hour advanced stretching well into night;
I am missing a deadline and feeling contrite;
I’m a way to refer to the dead that’s polite;
And the end of the game when the teams find their fight.

Who am I?
