I’ll tell ye boys
Storm up dere is a howling.
Your next shift on deck
Forty five minutes.
Terrified huh?
Well listen will ye
To that Jonah account.
God’s prophet.
Go to villainous Ninevah.
Preach repentance.
You gotta be kidding Boss.
They’re a horrible bunch.
Took a ship opposite direction.
Outrun God?
His plans?
Not a chance chicken -shit.
Storm rises up. Real bad one.
Superstitious mates toss out
The ornery prophet.
Swallowed up whole
By a stinking whale.
Three days in cramped muck.
Spat out on some beach.
Repentance returned
The Dead.
Don’t mess with the Lord.
His will and pointing Finger.
P.S. Ninevah heard him preach
Got turned around.
God’s mercy handed out.
Saved. Whole bunch of folks
And their critters too.
That’s the Tale
Man and whale.
(Returning Billy to his squeeze box.
Billows a-singing.
Ever so sweet.
Little buttons scampering.)
All Belowdecks much bettered.

ADAM AND EVE SCREWED UP
had a good thing going
Partners va-va voom.
Greenest living room.
And Man, he named the beasts.
Dominion had, released.
But snakes got in the way
One Law by God held sway
The Tree of Men’s Knowledge
And fruit.
Resist that food, galoot.
The Tree of Life from me.
A most delightful feed.
Now choose my Man, your Mate and
The hellish Serpent hate.
But they heard. Did otherwise.
Kings in their own eyes.
Pity…pretty shitty.
Outcome.
Planet still reeling.
There it is me boys.
Closing the Book.
