Two By Two, They Took a Cruise

As Noah gathered his flocks, and he gathered his herds Two by two, from the frogs, to the birds They would follow the leader, right into the ark Indeed, he was told "Build a ship, and embark! There's a flood coming soon, 40 days, 40 nights Some thought he was crazy, his decision a plight! Noah's two monkeys, had a devilish side! They quickly jumped on the back of the elephants' hides They took unfair advantage Even carrying their luggage While these jumbo sized taxis....gave them a ride Horace and Doris were at the end of the line As tortoises go, they would need extra time Inching their way up, took an hour...so slow While the rest of the group, cheered them on from the bow till finally they were sealing ship's bolted door shut! And soon rains were pouring, first sprinkles, then lots! At dinner each night, as they would gather to dine Like a cruise, quite gourmet, .....big buffets , even wine They bought in the first course, a huge bowl of soup In the hot broth was a rabbit, swimming in loops!! "Oh Noah! Come quickly!"..."There's a hare in my soup!!" And soon all the twosomes, were laughing and hooting The ark was party, filled to the brim Two for the road, and one for the swim They would follow the leader, right into the ark Indeed, he was told "Build a ship, and embark! There's a flood coming soon, 40 days, 40 nights Some thought he was crazy, some partied all night But the risk was a good one, it seems he was right! Circumstances might make us lose faith in our whims And it might look as if all our chances are dim Do not give in ! Or at least have fun For laughter's the best medicine under the sun!! ___________________________
