Safe On the Ark

Thunder rumbled
And the heavens grew dark.
Noah herded the animals
Into the ark.
                                             
From aardvarks to zebras,
From wildebeests to bats,        
There were field mice and rabbits
And great jungle cats.
                                             
There were elephants and rhinos.
There were cattle and sheep.
There were creatures that wiggle.
There were creatures that creep.
                                             
But the favorite creatures,
In God's loving eyes,
Were Mrs. Noah and Noah,
Their three sons and their wives.
