Story 66
Noah's Ark
To whom did Noah hark before he built his ark ?
Did he work just in the sunlight or also in the dark ?
Did he take any birds like a robin or a lark? Of
course he didn't take a whale or a shark ! But did he take two seals, and loudly did
they bark ?
What does the Bible remark? Does it tell of the voyage on the world's arc, the
flood's high-water mark, and where the ark finally came to park ? For how long
did the earth look stark ? When did Noah's problems no longer cark ?
Story 67
A Quarrel
Carl,
Blamed the traffic to snarl,
Got into a quarrel.
With his lips gnarled,
Carl snarled.
Had there not been
A policeman mounted on a sorrel 1
There likely would have been
More than a mere quarrel.
1. A reddish-brown house.
