Through wind and rain I always play,
I roam the earth, yet here I stay;
I crumble stones, and fire cannot burn me;
Yet I am soft- you can gauge me with your hand.
What am I?

State Government Employee sits in his office and out of boredom, decides to see what's in his old filing cabinet. He pokes through the contents and comes across an old brass lamp.
"This will look nice on my mantelpiece," he decides and takes it home with him. While polishing the lamp, a genie appears and grants him three wishes.
"I wish for a beautiful castle right now!"
Shazaaam! He has a beautiful castle.
Now that he can think more clearly, he states his second wish. "I wish to be on an island with beautiful women."
Shazaam! He is on an island surrounded by gorgeous women.
He tells the genie his third and last wish: "I wish I'd never have to work ever again."
Shazaam! He's back in his government office.
I with borrowed silver shine,
What you see is none of mine.
First I show you but a quarter,
Like the bow that guards the Tartar;
Then the half, an.d then the whole,
Ever dancing round the pole;
And true it is, I chiefly owe
My beauty to the shades below.
What is ten men's length and ten men's strength and yet ten men
cannot make it stand on its end?
