Lava on Lava Answer/Photo -->
Like lava on lava
A lump on a lump
I'm a bundle of bulges
And a barrell of bumps
Spines on spine
Spike by spike
I'm pretty unpretty
But pretty easy to like
One by one
Is the rudder of my skiff
Two by two
Scuttling up a cliff
Five by four
Keep me anchored wet or dry
Two by one by two
Seeking seaweed salad and finding moss-patch pie
One by one
I trim, I prune, I clip, I mow
One by a hundred
Rubbery stalagmites in a row
Sixty by two-sixty
Soaking up the sun
Twenty-four seven
Life on the whole I'd say is quite fun
Like lava on lava
A lump on a lump
I'm a bundle of bulges
And a barrell of bumps
Spines on spine
Spike by spike
I'm pretty unpretty
But pretty easy to like
Guess who.
