Their petals feel like velvet
And they prance down a line
Looking like miniature bells
Foxgloves, beautiful foxgloves!

I hide in their meadow
Hoping to never be discovered
Others can do the wash and the cooking
I am studying vegetation

I am a biologist
I am a geologist
I am a scientist
Sister can do the laundry, not me, never me....

sunset hues sweep across the grain, 
the mineral flashes fiery colors,
defined by its crystal structure.

hidden in its natural habitat of rock fabric.

An  aged  respondent  called  Smith
Answered the  newspaper  job-list  herewith
“Man wanted as geologist 
Great  skill at digging out schist
And  now and again a  large  batholith.”


But this geologic skill was  a myth.
Because  like  rock-hound  kin and  kith
They  just  wanted a man,    
Not  the   lisping  old  gran 
That   they  thaw  when she gave them  a kith....

     Geologist George 
     chose inscription to be etched 
     on stone of his tomb
     'Here lies Earth scientist on
     quest of under ground.'

     Sincere researcher
     wished to continue his work 
     even after death,
     opting opportunity 
     to  complete research undone.

     His earnest desire

    in after life phase
    on care free excavation 
    peacefully under soil.
