Noahs Ark - Contest

Noahs Ark had pairs of animals
To take to a place of safety
The ones I wish to write about
Are very busy ones you must agree

They started out as a pair
Very soon this number increased
Wonder if you can guess
Of this sexual pair, libido unleased

They are not very big
With a tail as long as he
A long snout with whiskers
Scuttles along always hungry

Yes it’s a pair of mice
Well it was just a pair
But now you can count in dozens
Unless fancied for some others fare

Cos a mouse would be a tasty snack
For a larger animal
The way they are reproducing
Guess this is one way of having a cull

Good Seren. I was considering a similar issue from the opposite standpoint, i.e. what did the lions and tigers eat while aboard? Maybe some species that embarked, didn't disembark... Cheers, Roy
