Multiplication Table
When Noah gathered creatures pair by pair
In a barge ready to face the rough storm
Giraffe and wife joined a sail to nowhere;
As waters growled high, till moon grew deformed
With nothing to frolic with, amidst the flood
Giraffes delighted in hush of ashen dark
Mating frequently on arc's trodden halls.
New animals born, how can they embark
And others followed despite bold rainfalls
The Lord shocked, watching full procreation
Said He, “ I forgot this extra supply
Count the babes ,while I slow the sea’s motion,
Why did I say, go forth and multiply?”
