Six-Word Couplet Series Encore


JONAH'S ADVENTURE
Ran to Tarshish
Now, inside fish 

DEVOUT JONAH
Three whole days 
Inside, Jonah prays

FISH VOMIT
God ordered fish 
Fulfilled God's wish

JONAH TURNS OBEDIENT 
Went to Nineveh
Preached God's way

TURN TO GOD 
People there repented
In sackcloth lamented 

GOD HAS THE FINAL WORD 
Jonah has hypertension 
God teaches lesson
