Biblical Joke

Old Noah was a good and pious fella,

Too bad he did not own an umbrella!

instead he had to build an arc; oh the terror!

and all that due to a slight grammatical error.

 

He wished to proclaim his faith- this humble bloke-

in every way known; but aramaic was all he spoke!

So he decided to hire a tutor of the English tongue,

who could correct and teach him right from wrong.

 

He finally one sunny day trying to impress the Lord

cried "Long may You rain!" mispronouncing a word

gazing proudly up at the skies he beckoned at God

which, alas, was what prompted a long, hard flood!

Lovely! Made my Sunday! Have a friend who, when staying in London rang room service and complained there were no 'shits' on the bed!!!!!! I would have liked to know what they said to her. English teachers have great responsibility.

Fun stuff on a biblical scale! Thanks.
It's clear from such a mealy-mouthed slip
That old Noah was a bit of a drip! ?

Ah, dear Jason! I live to amuse! Out of curiosity was it a snort-laugh or a regular one? I'm joking! I'm glad I put a smile on your face!
Thank you?

Well I'll be, you've filled in a gap
In my vacant and irreligious brain
I did not know Noah lacked a brolly
It seems he wasn't expecting God's reign. ?
