  2. Although I may have eyes, I cannot see. At one time there was a dearth of me in Ireland, & people went hungry. What am I? I'm white & used for cutting & grinding. When I'm damaged, humans usually remove me or fill me. For most animals I am a useful tool. What am I? Although many teachers thought little of me, I turned out to be a genius who changed the world. I suppose I proved that all things are relative! Who am I? I am strongest when you see me as round, but I am often viewed in other forms. I lift & drop the sea with my tremendous strength, and a man with a name like 'powerful bicep' was the first to tread on me. What am I? I do not hold the desert, only a sample. My innards descend ever so slowly.... But in time I am turned over to begin again. What am I? People climb me, cut me, & burn me -- they show me no respect! My rings are not of gold but do tell my age. What am I? I wrote of hairy-footed small people, rings, wizards, & other fascinating things! Many of my stories were first seen by my son while he served in World War II. Who am I? I am larger than you can imagine, possibly without bounds. My last five letters name something found in poetry. What am I? Monday, April 13thwArm-up
