Poems(????) for Church

For most of us church is serious;
And when there, our manners we should mind!
But occasionally it's good to "let down our hair;"
And just let our mind "unwind!"

We don't mean to be sacrilegious;
Or with the "modern Pharisees" have a spat!
But if those poems(????) provoke one thought;
We believe that's really where it's at!

Noah

God put Noah adrift in the Ark;
Noah didn't go sailing just on a lark;
With so much water, there was no place to park;
God put Noah adrift in the Ark!

God told Noah just what to do;
He said gather up all the animals, tow by two;
The line they formed to board the ark went as far as one can view;
God told Noah just what to do!

A pair of each species was just what God decreed;
"Take two of unclean animals;" came orders straight from Heaven;
But of animals listed as clean – God said; "Make it seven!"
A pair of each species was just what God decreed;

The only humans on the Ark were the family of Noah;
They didn't know what was going to happen, or where 'bouts they would go-a;
But they knew the rain was coming, and their swimming was just so-so-a;
The only humans on the Ark were the family of Noah!

Noah'd never built an Ark before, as far as we can tell!
God gave the plans to build the Ark to Noah, who built it well;
Pros built the Titanic, not amateurs, does that fact ring a bell?
Noah'd never built an Ark before, as far as we can tell!

God had the rain come down, oh my did it ever pour;
Noah hoped that it would quit, but God just sent some more;
How much rain fell was hard to say and Noah didn't keep score;
God had the rain come down, oh my did it ever pour!

One day the rain did just let up, some say the sun came out;
"The rain has stopped, the rain has stopped," we guess 'twas Noah's shout;
There was so much water, no sight of land, where it was there was some doubt;
One day the rain did just let up, some say the sun came out!

After a while, to check for land, Noah sent out a dove;
It flew around but found no land, though guided from above;
One day a dove came back with a twig, filling hearts with love;
After a while, to check for land, Noah sent out a dove!

When land was found all the creatures on the boat got off, we don't know the date;
God disbursed them throughout the earth and told them they would mate;
They repopulated the whole world, once again God's plan was great;
When land was found all the creatures on the boat got off, we don't know the date!

As they left the ark, Noah looked forlorn;
"Where in the world is the Unicorn?"
"'twas the prettiest animal ever born;"
As they left the ark, Noah looked forlorn.

Noah knew Unicorns loved to run & play;
They must have missed the ark on that rainy rainy day!
Not one person has seen a unicorn to this very day!
Noah knew Unicorns loved to run & play.

God put Noah adrift in the Ark;
Noah didn't go sailing just on a lark;
With so much water, there was no place to park;
God put Noah adrift in the Ark!
