Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society Pebble Pups
Volcanoes have lava that’s hot, hot, hot
I will not go near it, not, not, not
Volcanoes are filled with lots of gas
The lava takes up lots of mass
When it blows ashes go to the sky
I wonder how far they will fly?
Hawaii has Volcano National Park
I wonder if it’s scary in the dark?
Eruptions are hot, smoky and red
I like to read about them before I go to bed
The lava oozes out nice, smooth, and burning hot
I wonder if it will destroy a little or a lot?
Volcanoes are dangerous and I want to learn more
I love to learn about them, I don’t think they are a bore
