Not Scared of Volcanoes

I'm not!

i could point out in details

a list of things that give me the willies

i could go on at great lengths

re the intricacies of my sillies

i’m no good with heights or edges

large bodies of water or lakes

spiders give me the heebie jeebies

and i'm completely shit scared of snakes

i’m scared of drowning upright in the shower

or forgetting to breathe while i’m asleep

what waits for me after this next slumber

when i lay me down to weep

wet cardboard is my kryptonite

or driving in thick fog

an empty house on a cold dark night

a heart attack on the bog

but lava and magma do not faze me

and all the fiery threats that they could pose

active dormant or extinct

i’m not scared of volcanoes
