Poem by an anonymous freshman

This poem must be shared with the world (I didn't actually get permission...but I think he'd be glad I'm broadcasting his brilliance). These were the directions for one of my freshmen exam questions: Write a poem (at least four lines) that is either free verse or uses personification. This is what I got:

Volcano

I watch a volcano
It rumbles as if it were mad
When the lava comes out
It looks like it is wearing a red dress
So I ask God to calm the volcano down
So the volcano opens the top
To listen with its ears
Because it wants to hear God talk.
