                                                                                                     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.
