The Ark

The Ark was made as an exhibition piece,
but it was a poem Trevor had written a long time ago 
that was the initial inspiration. 
We have just posted a whole new page dedicated 
to this mammoth body of whimsy.

The Ark

Noah built an ark of wood, 
and filled it up as best he could.
The animals marched in two by two,
"Form a line there, an orderly queue!"

Noah counted them all aboard,
he didn't know his list was flawed.

Lions, tigers, hippos and cats
zebras, pythons, chickens and bats
rabbits, squirrels, rhinos and bees
all came aboard including their fleas!

The rains had started pouring down
and Mrs Noah started to frown,
as four by four the muddy paws
completely ruined her gleaming floors!

They lifted the ramp and closed all the doors
somehow forgetting the dinosaurs!
