The Legend of Lord Vesuvius

Fire:

Lava hardened streets

fell victim to the wrath of

Lord Vesuvius.

Air:

Formerly His gift,

He turned air, with each breath -in-

to a horrid curse.

Earth:

As their feet struck earth,

to flee his feelings, Lord V.

flung ash, at Pompeii.

Water:

Women clung to sons,

and grown men wept, but Lord V.

never learned to cry.
