He had a tale to tell
Said he was millions of years old
Was made from silt and shell.
He said they called him Limestone
His cousin's name was Shale
Both were born underwater
Exactly when they couldn't tell.
Said he was much bigger
Millions of years ago
As soon as water receded
He began to erode.
The rock held some secrets
From years long ago
He held fossils deep within
You could read his life in rows.
When the roads came
He stood in the way
A "powder monkey" drilled, packed
And blew his face away.
For Real Toads
