��������� "KABOOM!"��������




by Denise Rodgers

Kaboom!

Ka-blast���

�
Way in the past�

the miners mined for ore.

They searched for copper, � iron � ,� and salt ,

for that and much, much more.
The bite

��������������� of dynamite��

cut deep inside the earth.��

The charge explodes revealing lodes

of minerals of worth.
Kaboom!

The dust,
the air so mussed������

went swirling through the sky.

It was a sight, the dynamite

�
that made the mountains fly.��
Kaboom!

The earth
was filled with mirth��

so tickled by the boom.

The miner's pleasure,

each newfound treasure
������=��� �,� ,� and�

that followed each
Kaboom!
