I help you from your head to your toe. The more I work, the smaller I grow. What am I?

I'm where yesterday follows today and tomorrow is in the middle. What am I?

I weaken all men for hours each day. I show you strange visions while you are away. I take you by night, by day take you back. None suffer to have me, but do from my lack. What am I?

My voice is tender, my waist is slender and I'm often invited to play. Yet wherever I go I must take my bow or else I have nothing to say. What am I?

I can be short and sometimes hot. When displayed, I rarely impress. What am I?

I have a big mouth and I am also quite loud! I am NOT a gossip but I do get involved with everyone's dirty business. What am I?

I'm found in socks, scarves and mittens; and often in the paws of playful kittens. What am I?

I can be cracked, I can be made. I can be told, I can be played. What am I?

I am a box that holds keys without locks, yet they can unlock your soul. What am I?

I have a little house in which I live all alone. It has no doors or windows, and if I want to go out I must break through the wall. What am I?

I am always hungry and will die if not fed, but whatever I touch will soon turn red. What am I?

Two in a corner, 1 in a room, 0 in a house, but 1 in a shelter. What am I?

I have no life, but I can die. What am I?

I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost everybody. What am I?

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
