Poem

Hello, I am a rock Hello. I’m a rock. I’m definitely a rock. I’m gray and boring. I sit around. I Wait for something to happen. Maybe I will melt. Maybe I will smooth Due to the sand and water. Did I mention that I’m in a river? I definitely live in A river. With fish. And some fast water. Maybe I’ll become powder. Will I be grainy? Or will I be soft? The beach life would be so nice! Maybe I will be Sedimentary Or maybe metamorphic. I am igneous. The ground is shaking. It has been for a few months. My town is worried. What? Don’t ask me why. I’m an ordinary rock. Fine… I lied, okay? I’m a volcano. An active one. But don’t tell That to my town, though. They might evacuate before I can… well, put them to sleep.
