In making a word wordy, The shell of my former self has now become A dog of the snow, with gruff voice.

Pronounced with one letter, but written with three, The letter that is, is similar to me. I rest in the center of winds, calm as ever, I'm easy to close, it's like flicking a lever. I come in many shades and hues, Of browns and greens and greys and blues.

A lot of people pay to see me, even though they only see the tip. I'm shredded, cut, and good with dressing, not too much, just a bit. Lastly, I'm known for a movie with a ship, turned out to be a great big hit.

Stroke me to bring yourself great satisfaction, preferably by someone else Oil me up and enjoy me at my full glory Enjoy me while I last for I go with age for many men

I wear your face and speak your tongue, I cheer your wins till they’re well-wrung. I shake your hand; I share your bread Then sell your secrets in your stead. I’m closest when you least take care; I leave no wound, yet strip you bare.
