Mike Dailey Poet Limerick

God Said To Noah

God said to old Noah – “No sweat
Gather two of all creatures you’ve met
Cram them all in a boat
And keep it afloat
All others will get mighty wet”

So old Noah he built him a boat
And for 40 days kept it afloat
Though the details are few
It’s the tale of the crew
That makes this of Biblical note

For God had this grandiose plan
And with water he covered this land
When the boat came aground
Wickedness had been drowned
“Cept the family of this righteous man

So what is the moral of the story?
Though the world may be cold and gory
When it’s all said and done
It will be righteous ones
That will bask in God’s greater glory

Sara Kendrick June 23, 2011 at 3:44 AM Enjoyed your short version of the "Biblical" event..Did Noah gather the animals?..He built the boat and preached for 120 ?..Trying to get he people to see the need of a Savior..The boat stayed afloat close to a year..A whole year in cramped quarters with the stink and noise..What a man this was...Sara

Sidney Hall Mad Poet June 22, 2011 at 1:51 PM no matter how this story is written God's justice and mercy always shines through. I love your limerick. Mike Dailey June 22, 2011 at 3:09 PM Amen to that.

Jeff Morehead June 22, 2011 at 10:33 AM I loved this one Mike. So well written, enjoyed how the rhyme flowed. Jeff Mike Dailey June 22, 2011 at 3:09 PM I always work at the rhythm and rhyme in my poems. That is why free verse and those structured forms are so hard for me to do.
