Gotta Name Those Rocks

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

 

Gotta Name Those Rocks

© 2007    Mark Pearce

 

 

I took a bunch of rocks

And set ‘em on a table.

The first one I named Roxie

And the next one I named Mabel.

 

But the third one was an igneous

With sedimentary load

In a squirty, little squat

So I named him Iggy Toad.

 

And the fourth one and the fifth one

Couldn’t bother with the rest

One is named Leona Helmsley.

The other, Imdah Best.

 

But the one with pink and purple

And the sparkly insides

I think I’ll wait until the spring

And let Ms Crystal Quartz decide.
