Forces Of Erosion

Through this canyon a million years in construction,
as water broke over the banks, deposits some mineral,
prospector banks on mineral, deposits $100.

The old carved cream, too tangy for amazement,
cut no ice amid fears of money -- to borrow from the earth,
to move out of caves and rent a grand new shed.

There's no reason geologists could lose their jobs,
but water ice manufacturers are unexpectedly predicting
flavors slightly off.
