Volcano

Magma,

Melted, molten rock,

Like soup that boils,

In a crock...

Beneath the Earth,

It rolls and roils,

Beneath the Earth,

It turns and toils...

Pressure grows,

Magma escapes,

Blows through holes,

Of different shapes...

Mountain cones,

Ring of fire,

Volcanoes blow,

Ash flies higher!

Magma flows,

Becomes hot lava,

Cools to make,

A place like Java...

Magma comes,

From underground,

And flows in lava,

All around...

Listen now,

Don't interrupt,

When volcanoes blow,

They do erupt!
