In Oven But Not Baked
What must be in the oven yet can not be baked?
Grows in the heat yet shuns the light of day?
What sinks in water but rises with air?
Looks like sand, but is fine as hair?
Yeast.
Builds Its Table On My Shelf
From that which comes within itself,
it builds its table on my shelf.
A spider. The silk comes from within the spider, and the “table” (web) is often built in corners like there are on a bookshelf.

A Tasty Fruit
I am a tasty fruit that provides you with healthy nutrients. I can also be found on a calendar. What am I?
A date.
A Blade of Jagged Cut
Has a blade of jagged cut.
Keeps the quickest hand out shut.
Goes in darkness. Wears a ring.
One is quiet. Many sing.
A key. It has a jagged cut in order to fit the lock. A locked door keeps people out and the keyhole is dark. Key rings are a common way to hold a set of keys, and when you’re using a key that one is quiet, but the rest jingle and jangle.

Sever Bones and Marrow
My first is in wield, sever bones and marrow.
My second is in blade, forged in cold steel.
My third is in arbalest, and also in arrows.
My fourth is in power, plunged through a shield.
My fifth is in honor, and also in vows
My last will put an end to it all.
What am I?
Weapon
I Make Men Crazy
I can make men crazy,
I shine when you retire.
I move water without a touch,
My colors may cause you ire.
The moon. The moon has a long association with being crazy (lunar being the basis for a lunatic). It shines at night, when you go to bed. The moon’s gravity creates the ocean tides and when the moon is different colors it can mean bad weather is on its way.
I Wave But Never Say Goodbye
I wave my hands at you,
But I never say goodbye.
You’re always cool with me,
Even cooler when I’m high.
What am I?
An electric fan
I Widen My Jaws
I flex my jaws when you use me,
My only purpose is to damage,
Yet I’m used by small children.
What am I?
Scissors.
