It's something so very profound.
I have known for years
We need have no fears
When we hear the world going 'round.

A rumble you feel in your bones
Eliciting satisfied moeans,
Is not from good sex;
It's much more complex;
It's from our Earth's revolving stones.

59928 SCIENCE - GEOLOGY  Marlene



Late nights when it's quiet in bed,
The rumble is inside my head.
It gives me a sign
That everything's fine;
The world's going 'round; fear has fled.

You say it's the world's axis rumbling?
It must be the beaarings a-crumbling!
If the bearings are shot,
Then the poles will get hot,
Then they'll smash and through space we'll be tumbling!

I hate to disturb your night's sleep
But that rumblin's so very deep,
It's grinding away,
While your are just lay-
Ing down on your bed like Bo Peep!

The friction is heating our Earth;
To disaster it will soon give birth.
As the core overheats,
It'll blow us to bits;
On pieces of Earth we'll space surf!

The twitch of Earth's magnetic field
Is seldom to humans revealed.
Dear sensitive Mar,
Just needs an iron jar;
A big one, not too much annealed.

And now, the benefits double
Should Earth ever get into trouble.
Hermetically sealed,
I'll scan her bent field,
And fish her right out of the rubble.

My mag amps are way unsurpassed;
They're all cryo-nitrogen gassed.
She shant need a flare
Or beacon out there.
Her final Earth breath, though, must last.

So limmers, if you hear a hum,
And think Earth shall be overcome,
Kiss something for luck,
Inhale a big suck,
And climb in a 50 gal drum.

The word, it is not really rumbling
As through the starred void we are tumbling.
It's trains on the track;
Cars on the tarmac;
At natural science, I'm bumbling.

59937 SCIENCE - GEOLOGY  Marlene Lewis



For logical causes I sleuthed
And when I was little it soothed.
The sound helped me sleep
With no need to weep.
My way through night's darkess it smoothed.

The West, in a tumult of chaos,
Fell in the Pacific embraos.
When it afterwards came
To apportioning blame,
The fault was presumed San Andreas.

The real reason for all that quaking
That made Seattle's building shaking,
And caused such a drama,
Is that Big German Mama,
A tremendous orgasm was faking.

When Big Sexy Sam came, he blasted,
Leaving Flossie both flabbered and gasted.
"Well," she quippped, with a smile,
That's a lay with real style...
A seismological blast while it lasted.

A geology student named Victor
Took his date to the river and dicked her.
He admitted his fault
In this heinous assault,
But was proud of his 6 on the Richter.

Those mythic tales of maids Greek
Who eyes lachrymose tears did leak,
Were said to be clones,
Source of Amber stones,
Which rockhounds and geologists seek!

When Richter's scales upward vault
And tremors start their ground assault.
When earthquakes came,
Who was to blame?
St. Andreas, 'twas his fault?

"Volcanic eruptions", she cried,
"Make me kind of excited inside."
On Stromboli's hot summit
She started to thumb it,
When whoosh!  Both her pussy-lips fried.

The geologists argue in chorus
That the dinosaurs lived long before us.
But when walking down Yonge
You can still fall among
Some inebriate Toronto sore ass.

A noted geologist, Walt,
Once screwed a young lady of Galt.
She said, "You're proficient;
Is my fissure sufficient?"
But her fissure, he said, was a fault.

A tiny volcano in Java
Appeared, but it spurted no lava.
Then a little brown mole,
With his nose through the hole,
Said, "I don't want to tunnel no farva."

Two geologists met, excavated,
Became lava's who's heat devastated.
Their couplings volcanic
Caused tremors and panic,
And whole towns to be evacuated.

A fellow from Bristol, called Steve
Was seriously known to believe
That, the world being flat,
If once lost, your cat
Would be terribly hard to retrieve.

"You can have my advice (at a price)",
Said the doctor, "Concerning your vice;
You like poking your cock
Between cracks in the rock?
Well, OK, if it makes you feel gneiss."
