Jonah, Jonah

Jonah, Jonah, for awhile alonah. Didn't listen so you run, but God made you git'r'done. To go to Nineveh, you said "nu uh". So away to Tarshish you set sail, only to make the sailors bail, "Throw me over" you cried. "Do it unless you want to die". They listened to what you said, and tossed you out on your head. But God had other plans for you, so not just overboard, swallowed too. So forty days and forty nights, you prayed to God to do what's right. So finally on Asiriah's shores, a second chance was granted your's. On to Nineveh! You persisted, to change the hearts of people who were twisted. So into Nineveh you went, oh, what a glorious event. So you told the bad people,"To do the things you do is illegal." So they repented and wore sackcloth, but you still expected fire and brimstone. God gave you a weed, but killed it in the night. But I sure hope now your eyes see right. THE END.
