I’m the crucial minutiae a witness provides;
I’m an intricate pattern the big picture hides;
A security team; where the Devil resides;
And to scrub down a car on its front, back, and sides.

Who am I?

I am found on a fish; which I might also weigh;
I’m the shrinking in maps; I determine your pay;
When one climbs up a wall; I am notes you might play;
And your sign, if you’re born on a mid-autumn day.

Who am I?

I’m an item that’s useful for threading some twine;
I am lost in the haystack; I puncture a spine;
I’m a phonograph stylus; the prick of the pine;
And the part of the compass that points to a line.

Who am I?

I’m the leader of seven who sheltered Snow White;
I’m a file made in Word that allows you to write;
I’m a nickname from Bugs; I’m a pitcher named Dwight;
And was Carson’s lead horn on that show late at night.

Who am I?

I’m a rod or a tree branch a parent can whack;
I can turn on a light; put your train on a track;
I can bat either way; change from Windows to Mac;
And put calls through a board with a cord in a jack.

Who am I?

I sang Thanks to the troops and made Road films with Bing;
I’m the theme of the anthem Israelis might sing;
I’m Obama’s campaign cry; that fine feathered thing;
I’m belief in a dream, and eternal I spring!

Who am I?

I can speak of the future, but not of the past;
I describe distribution of things you’ve amassed;
For a Smith, I’m a nickname; for George, I’m his last;
And the power of mind that can let you stand fast.

Who am I?

I’m a game played by kids, when they’re done with Leapfrog;
I am worn by a soldier, a corpse, or a dog;
Category on Twitter, or here on the blog;
And the license plate number a driver must log.

Who am I?

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

I’m the window that’s lifted; the left-unlocked door;
I’m accessible source code; a functioning store;
I’m the mic that lets anyone take to the floor;
And when one band’s in concert, to play there before.

Who am I?

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

I’m a high-ranking title it’s good to possess;
Had a dream which became an important address;
A promotion in checkers, forbidden in chess;
And a horror-prone novelist, rife with success.

Who am I?
