You Need a Big Cork To Plug a Volcano
Anyone living on this planet should know
that you need a big cork to plug a volcano.
From way deep down is a powerful force.
The core of the earth is where comes the source.
Up into the air goes ashes and smoke.
It is thick and dark enough to make anyone choke.
On the slopes of the mountain, hot lava flows down.
I would feel sorry if there is a nearby town.
Don't stand around. Just get out of the way.
Look what Vesuvius did to the town of Pompeii.
Some of my friends might toast marshmallows on the slope.
If they asked me to join them, I would just say "nope".
