No. 35
Old boy Noah ://:
was a decent man.
Once the ark had grounded
in the fields he founded
lots of vineyards, lots of vineyards:
Noah had a plan.
Noah rowed out://:
from his ancient ark,
bottles he bought plenty,
maybe more than twenty,
meant for drinking, meant for drinking
in our green new park.
He ne’er doubted ://:
that all humans are
by their nature thirsty
like the beasts, so first he
planted vines, yes, planted vines, yes,
growing near and far.
Old girl Noah ://:
was a decent wife;
she let him drink early,
if I’d such a girlie,
I’d get married, I’d get married,
ere you could say knife.
She ne’er scolded ://:
Oh, you naughty man,
put that pitcher down then,
No, she didn’t frown when
at one draught he, at one draught he
quaffed wine by the can.
Old boy Noah ://:
Had hair thick as thatch,
chubby chins and goatee,
cheeks so pink and rosy;
he could down it, he could down it,
Cheers and down the hatch!
Times were good then ://:
on our earth so fair;
food and drink ne’er lacking,
no parched throats a-cracking,
all sat glaring, all sat glaring
at a spread so rare.
Formal toasting ://:
people gave a miss;
no one said at leisure:
May I have the pleasure!
No, you drank it, no, you drank it
at one go – like this!
