Very likely someone has done this already, but I couldn't find it, so
here's my version of the obvious song for today.

Ring of Fire: A Cautionary Song
Lyrics: Gary McGath, Copyright 2023
Music: June Carter Cash, "Ring of Fire"

Sunlight's a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring.
Yielding to dumb desire
I gazed out at the ring of fire

Chorus (2x):
I gazed out at the burning ring of fire
I looked up, up, up
As the sun rose higher
And it burns the eyes
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

The view above is neat
When moon and sun do meet.
Moon ringed by the sun behind
Oh, but my eyes went blind.

Chorus:
I gazed out at the burning ring of fire (etc.)
