I'm massive and gray, with a memory so bright, My tusks are my pride, in the savannah's light, I roam with my herd, with a trumpeting sound, My wrinkled skin's tough, but my heart's soft ground.

Salad days are here, I feel it in my heart. Life is green, Crisp and clean, It's tearing me apart

Two blades you should have with me to guide me, enclosed you'll feel at home. safely through rapids, don't capsize. I'm a simple aquatic palindrome.

I gaze at stars, and galaxies far, A window to space, that's my shining star, With lenses aligned, I bring the view near, Revealing wonders, that are simply clear, Helping dreams, to see a little further.

you can find me in a cave, or in an open field. a tiny little creature which a man is sure to wield. I can make squeaks to scan, or launch things through the stands. What am I?
