LYRICS
How could I not know about the igneous flow
I’m just an igneous ignoramus
After investigation, one realizes… da… there’s no enigma
Quartz crystallizes from molten magma
A six-sided prism terminating in a six-sided pyramid
Down-to-earth geotropism hid under an inside-out geode lid
Cryptocrystalline can hardly be seen
Aggregate into an agate and see what you get
Some people only know the volcano
I must confess… I was an igneous ignoramus
Only getting to know about a lava flow (The mama of molten magma)
Then, my sights started to grow
Now I’m inclusive of extrusive and intrusive
Why not get ’em while they’re hot… these rocks rock
Crystals… fractals… for sure, crystals — fractals found in nature
Mandelbrot brought “beautiful, damn hard, increasingly useful. That’s fractals.”
Might I add to this fad “beautiful, damn hard, increasingly useful. That’s quartz crystals.”
