Noah commissioned a wee dove as his ocean scout
It ventured out three times seeking sprigs of life
on the third try it brought back hope to mankind.
I would have chosen an albatross for the task
with its great wingspan suited for sea voyages
It could have done the deed in half the time.
Perhaps the dove was more efficient and intelligent
maybe the albatross lacked focus and discipline
been tempted by the sirens of fog and froth.
Did it feel spited in the shadow of the Genesis ship.
Who am I to question a blessed man
who built an arc and refreshened mankind.

Designing a building a home
Is the art of making love
Construct the kitchen first
Quenching hunger and thirst
For better listening and speaking
More intimately of the day
Giving undivided attention
Create your place a cozy den
The room to lounge and live in
A haven from worldly affairs
Snuggling close and comforting
Minds, hearts and bodies
Refreshened, preen to groom
Develop a spacious bathroom
Erect four walls, a roof
Last room, make for the bedchamber
And all night it's so right
Because all day is foreplay
With everything you do and say
Upon the concrete foundation of marriage
