The Skeptic

So, what’s up with Noah?
He’s building an ark,
From early each morning,
‘Till long after dark.

He’s preaching that there
Will be judgment someday,
And so he just works,
While the rest of us play.

It’s really quite foolish,
This nonsense that God
Will destroy the whole world;
His mind’s in a fog.

For nothing has changed
Since the world has begun,
We’re eating and drinking,
And having some fun.

While we’re having parties,
He’s living in fear,
For Noah’s been building
For eighty-some years.

Hey, wait, what was that?
Some drops from the sky?
Hey, Noah’s not kidding !!
We’re all going to die !!

NOAH  ??!!

NOAH  !!!

WAIT  !!!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you since your kind review. Been off line for a while due to health problems. Good to be back. God Bless, JB
