Made of Five Letters and Seven Letters
I’m made out of five letters,
And I’m made out of seven letters;
I have keys but I don’t have locks,
I’m concerned with time, but not with clocks.
What am I?
A piano. The word piano has five letters, and the scale on the piano is A through G, seven letters. The piano keys don’t have locks and playing piano requires you to keep time (but with a metronome, not a clock).
Old Mother Hubbard’s Seven Letters
What seven letters did Old Mother Hubbard use when she opened her cupboard?
O I C U R M T
(Oh, I see you are empty)
I Tell You When to Start
I tell you when to start,
Or remind if you forget.
I smash others to break them apart,
But I’m pushed by another of me.
What am I?
Cue. A cue tells you when to start, or if you forget your lines in a play. A cue ball is used to break at the beginning of a game of pool and the cue stick is used to push the cue ball on the break.
Another interesting tidbit is that cue is how you spell the letter q if you’re writing it out.
What’s Nowhere But Everywhere
What’s nowhere but everywhere except where something is?
Nothing. (From Gotham)

And I’m always within sight.

The Sun Bakes Them
The sun bakes them,
The hand breaks them,
The foot treads them,
The mouth tastes them.
Grapes. Grapes are grown in the sun, can be hand picked and crushed by feet (which is sort of gross) to make wine, which is tasted by your mouth when you drink it.
Soldiers Line Up Spaced With Pride
Soldiers line up, spaced with pride,
Two long rows lined side by side,
One sole unit can decide,
If the rows will unite or divide.
What am I?
A zipper.
