If you've...

...ever wondered what it looked like on the moon,
we may have an answer, right now.  So soon?
Way out in Idaho, in the southeastern part of that state,
is Crater of the Moon National Monument and Reserve, it's great.
There was a large volcano, back in another era,
maybe more than one, leaving room for error;
this is what's left, after a hundred thousand years,
lava rock and sand, some plant life, and oh dears!
The first photo is the Spaltter Cone, and this is Triple Twisted Tree,
there's a lot of weird stuff out here, you should go and see!
Pre-historic rock!  There's plenty of that right here too;
Apollo Astronauts came to see it, so why not you?
This is a "lave tube cave", I'm given to understand,
the rock was melted by lava as it spread across the land;
jeepers! That would've have been, scarey in the least,
when this stuff was going, it wasn't fit for man 'nor beast.
Soon it will be winter, and this is what you'd see,
snow and the famous "rime ice tree",
rime ice is a kind of frost, the kind that's hard to scrape,
it's why airplane wings are heated, so they can escape.

So, there you have it, in both hot and cold,
pre-historic and the future, all that you can hold;
so while we wait for winter, you need something to do,
and those pretty buttons are right there, waiting for you.

And please don't forget to Live and Let Live,
those of us who have, can afford to be the ones who give,
you won't need much money, that's not what I mean,
just be good to each other, that's the heart of my scheme.

Enjoy!
