I’m a break in a sentence, as rendered in print;
I’m to ruin your hopes; a one-hundred yard sprint;
I keep car data close, so you don’t need to squint;
I’m to dine, but not pay; or some salt (just a hint).

Who am I?

I’m the gun at your side, whether open or hid;
I’m a cell in your eye that’s found under the lid;
I’m the tool used to catch all the fish that you did;
And it’s writ if you spare me, you’ll spoil your kid.

Who am I?

I’m a current consistent in how I will flow;
I’m the no-nonsense manner to say what you know;
To guide actors on stage in performing your show;
And a detour-free route – it’s the best way to go.

Who am I?

I am tossing a line with a hook and a fly;
I am plaster for bones; an already-thrown die;
Use a magical spell; redirecting your eye;
And deciding who’s playing each Doll and each Guy.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

I am searching for mines, or a listening bug;
To win all of your games in a row, feeling smug;
To clear dust from a room, or push under the rug;
And to knock out a leg, like Karate Kid’s thug.

Who am I?

I’m the part of a song used for drawing you in;
I’m a spot for your coat; a left punch to the chin;
I’m a telephone cradle; to bowl with some spin;
And the Neverland pirate who can’t seem to win.

Who am I?

I’m a mall lined with stores the community planned;
I’m to take off your clothes after losing a hand;
I’m a newspaper comic; where airplanes can land;
And a nice cut of steak that that might take New York’s brand.

Who am I?

I’m a cup for your coffee, or glass for your beer;
I’m a grin for the camera that spans ear to ear;
I’m to rob on the street using violence or fear;
And a book that displays how your suspects appear.

Who am I?

I’m a fence to keep animals sorted by sections;
A tool that turns ink into prose introspections;
I mate with a cob; I give timely injections;
And let babies play with surrounding protections.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

I’m a substance unclean, such as soot, filth, or grime;
I am evidence held of a shame or a crime;
I am scurrilous gossip; I’m soil with lime;
I am poverty poor; but I’m cheap as a dime.

Who am I?
