As a piece of wood, I serve many purposes Made out of flesh, I am an exercise Some also know me as an importat aspect of an argument In all thre cases, I am a basic building block

I've a barrel but no lid Silver keys but no lock. Should you ever use me, You'll find it hard to talk. I've a bell but no clapper, I can sing a magnum opus, But the best hint of all Is a salty, dry octopus.

I be born of pressure, a pirate's delight, Harder than most, and ever so bright. I sparkle and gleam, a king's ransom it seems, What am I, me hearty, fulfillin' yer dreams?

Upon the grave, New life has come, All for the eyes, and some for the tongue, Some are surprise, And all devour sun, Not a baking supply, But sounds just like one.

Hanging or standing, I’m at least one star. I reveal the space, if that’s where you are. My neurons connect, I’ve got an idea! Uh oh, I’m missing. Do you feel that? It’s fear.
