The Canary Islands started life as volcanoes
Like all islands, millions of years ago
So there's no need to panic
When you learn that they're volcanic
Why did I say no need to panic?
In the long run we"re on Titanic
Some like to know. Go with the flow
But others prefer not to know
I must admit with a sigh
That my years are rushing by
I'm no longet keen on hikîng
Driving, walking. Nor mountain biking
My exercise is not taking a lift
I'm sure you smart folk get my drift
"How are you?', friends want to know
I'm oldet than two years ago
A volcano museum on Tenetife
Was free and fun and a relief
A second free exhibit on honey
Wine tasting with cheese took some money
But on La Palma, I must reveal
How their recent volcano makes me feel
When my friends want to look inside -
Only for those who pay a guide
I'll take photos of those I've known
My hotel could be my new home
I said, 'I'll stay in the hire car, please,’
But he went off with the hire car keys.
