Published expressly for Jimbo, but hopefully for all to enjoy.

On a whim here tiz

A geologic haiku

Requested by Whip

**********************

Igneous is one

Also sedimentary

Metamorphic too

**********************

Thus three types of rocks

Each with varied genesis

All are fun to find

    Oh, and I think I'll metamorph into an ingenious sentiment, or something. Clever bastard, ain't I?

    Here, here! I am a basalt fan myself. Such neat looking formations. As well sedimentary is fun to discover all the layers. Any tips on where a Va. boy can go and see sans digging, the KT boundary layer. I need some iridium for an experiment I'm conducting. I'm trying to see if I can gather enuff of it to throw down in a violent manner and thus cause the extinction of progressives! Alas, I think I have my work cut out for me! Nice work Major. You're a pal and a valued one for sure.
