                                                                                                     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 ?

                                                                                                      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.
