Celebrate, Hide Their Shame or Commit Crime
Some use me to celebrate,
Others use me to hide their shame,
Others use me to commit crime.
What am I?
Alcohol. People have a drink to celebrate, but also drink to hide their shame. Lastly, drunk driving is a crime.
A mask is also a valid answer. They can be used to celebrate Halloween or at dress-up parties, a mask can hide your shame and masks are used by thieves.
Update: This one has more valid answers than I thought. Money, drugs and night also work.
Ground Not For Thy Daily Bread
Ground not for thy daily bread,
Leave me in my scented bed,
Ignore me not, lest I doth wither,
My name I leave you to consider.
A flower. The soil they grow in is not used for food, like wheat to make bread, but for their smell. A neglected flower will wither.
Up and Down and Round About
I’m up and down and round about,
yet all the world can’t find me out.
Though thousands have employed their leisure,
they never yet could find my measure.
I’m found in almost every garden,
In a compass or a farden.
There’s neither chariot coach nor mill
may move one inch except I will.
What am I?
A circle.
What Has Feet But No Legs?
What has feet but no legs?
A snail or a measuring device (like a yard stick or tape measure). A snail’s foot is a muscle that allows it to move, and measuring devices have feet on them to measure distance.
Once a Minute, Twice in a Moment
What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment but not once in a thousand years?
The letter “m”.

A hole.
This is quite similar to It Cannot Be Seen and Weighs Nothing.
