I can take you higher without using stairs. You might do me when you’re scared or excited. You see me in sports, in games, and on trampolines. What am I?

I arrive when school is done, a gift wrapped up in dread. I steal your night, I grow if ignored, and chase you into bed, and no, your dog did not eat me that trick is old and dead.

Right after the daily grind, With lower prices, I am designed. People gather for a toast or two, Before they bid the work day adieu. Remember to tip your bartender well, They have more booze and wine to sell What am I?

The first part you can cook or bake with. The second part is a pest or what the weight brothers achieved. Combined, it’s something beautiful, something associated with transformation.

I am the king! I have my pride, but still let my wives do the hunting for me.
