Sailing

Jonah invented the whale The first man ever to sail He went round the globe In his best Sunday robe His invention was destined to fail For Noah had plans for an ark It’s construction no walk in the park It took a few years Some blood sweat and tears But finally Noah made his mark His wife tried most every ruse To convince him to go for a cruise He said, “I’ve been told To fill up the hold With gerbils and bush kangaroos” They brought on the creatures in pairs The rhinos and hippos downstairs But space was so tight Some put up a fight Especially the grizzly bears When the rains came the ark was a float And Noah, on the bridge he did gloat Saying “didn’t I say? It would happen one day” Said his wife “I could rip out his throat, This is not what most folk call cruising With gorillas and lemmings and ewes in My cabin at night It just isn’t right I don’t find it very amusing” So Noah’s wife concocted a plot To scupper her hubbys new yacht With her turn at the wheel Her nerves she did steel And crashed into Mount Ararot
