Rebuilding Noah's Ark

hammers are swinging
saws are buzzing
the carpenter ants
shall gather
the nails while
volunteering their time
in rebuilding Noah's Ark

"Carpenter ants" is a nice play on words! There's a nice moral to this poem and the original Bible story. The animals were cooperative, while the humans were indifferent, callous. You aptly emphasize this point. Enjoyed your poem. I have written some, similarly-concise poems on Babel. Feel free to paruse them if you like.
