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.
Two In A Whole And Four In A Pair
Two in a whole and four in a pair
And six in a trio you see

Say my name and I disappear. What am I?
Silence.
An alternate version is, “What is so fragile it breaks when you say its name?”
