NOAH'S ARK (Poem #154)

A man named Noah built himself an ark.
Everyone thought he was crazyas a lark.

But Noah did as God had told
 working each day with faith so bold.

 Then as God had bid him to do,
 he took on animals two by two,

Until two of each and every kind
 was loaded on the ark just in time.

For then a rainstorm like never seen
 began to howl and then to team.

Raining for 40 days and 40 nights
 soon obliterated all the sights.

 Nothing could be seen of the shore
 until the Dove showed up at the door,

With an olive branch inside its beak
 showing dry land was out there for them to seek.
