The inspiration behind my poem no ah duh but it was supposed to to be no ah then a bunch of periods , but who would ever thought that a period was considered a special character


Many years ago when my son was greatly grasping the English language; I took him to a Sight and Sound production of "Noah". Now mind you we had already seen "Jonah" which was a great work of drama and stageability, but, and I do recommend seeing a Sight and Sound performance; but always remember that they mention at the beginning that their story is a matter of interpretation. So the lights dimmed. The play opened with Noah discussing his words from god. Told the exact measurements and what to do with his ark. The amazing thing about this production was that some real animals would be used in the two by two loading scene; which of course made the smaller kids feel bliss as each pair of real animals walked right past them. We, however, were in the balcony seats and so got no close ups; but what we did get was to take in the entire stage. So as the ark door closed we got to see the real llama trainer sticking out his head to make sure the llama stood straight. I suppose there were a pair of llama trainers on the ark since everything was in pairs. But after a claustrophobic while there was a sound of the ark running aground; after the dove and the olive branch signs. Then suddenly the curtains closed, but we're opened in minutes; showing Noah and family giving praise and thanks to god. But in the background was the bow of the ark, and it opened up like a whale's mouth; and out stepped Jesus. Remember the interpretation stated at the beginning of this story. Suddenly my son yells, "What's he doing there?" So I leaned over and told him we'll talk about the Trinity.
