I asked God to please use me To speak to others through poetry When I woke up my thoughts all rhymed Could this be what he had in mind? Jonah went for a little swim But a big fishy swallowed him After God relieved his doubt The big fishy spit him out. God had Moses part the sea So his people could cross free When the water walls came down Pharaoh watched his bad boys drown. Samson had a head of hair Soon got clipped by a maiden fair But he turned those laughs to frowns When he brought the whole house down David was a little dude He met a giant being rude But soon Goliaths face was red After a little rock hit his head God told Noah to build a boat A zoo of two, he made it float One thing the Bible doesn't tell How did Noah stand the smell? God looked down on Sodom town Then he knocked the stone walls down Look back on it you shall not Oops, a salty Mrs. Lot Adam said that he believed Then by Eve he was deceived From the garden with a toss Should have listened to the boss Roger |

Marsha, I wrote this to try and teach myself and my boys an easy way to tie the Bible names to the story and make it fun at the same time. I have many serious religious works, so I thought a fun one would be nice. Lyra, If we add part 2, maybe there would be enough for a cartoon. 'A salty Mrs. Lot' was the line that got the most comments at Moontown. Thanks for being a darling and commenting. Lady in White, I think God laughs at me a lot, when he's not disappointed in me. I think in rhyme and so these were floating around up there and needed released. I'm glad people are seeing them in the light intended. Sea, I'm really glad you stopped by. I've noticed your responses on other religious works and am glad mine got your attention also. I have some serious works about the Lord that I hope you will be able to relate to also. Sometimes he pats my head and sometimes he slaps my head, but they're all love taps. Roger |
