The Enigma of Yellowstone
The Yellowstone River runs through the heart
Of a bold and magnificent treasure.
An explorer's paradise from the start,
It has proven perfect for our leisure.
A natural wildlife home and preserve
To bison and wolves and elk and mule deer.
Serenity reins, as creatures deserve,
While hot springs and geysers boil and appear.
Majestic mountains and deep valley grass -
Then Winter snow to silence the planet -
Draw human spirits from cities en masse
To a place where common sense would ban it.
It's a super volcano - one of few -
It may kill millions before it is through
