WELCOME TO MY ARK
(Part 2 )
By Josie Whitehead

Welcome to My Ark part 2

WELCOME TO MY ARK - part 2

There was so much work done by Noah, his sons, his wife and daughters-in-law, that bit by bit, the biggest ark in the world was eventually built and the shopping was done, but the next part of the story soon came, for the animals started to appear, ready to go into the ark.  So, tell me what sorts of animals and birds would you think appeared, and I will tell you what I think:   

 

   

Mouse
Elephant

There were some quite big

     And others quite small.

Some were short

     But others were tall.

 

Some were bold

     But some were shy.

Some walked in

     But some could fly.

 

Some were noisy

     And some were dumb.

Some seemed happy

     And others were glum.

 

Creatures arrived of the day

     And of the dark

And Mr Noah said: ‘Welcome!

      Welcome to my Ark!’

 

Who came then?

 

In came an elephant.

     My what a size!

And lots of little birds flew

      From out of the skies.

Then two monkeys arrived

     And a great big shark.

And Mr Noah said: ‘Welcome!

     Welcome to my Ark.’

     

Two fat pigs arrived

     And a pair of buffalo,

But where Noah put them

     I guess I’ll never know.

 

The ducks quacked loudly

     And the horses said: ‘Neigh,’

And the ark was very noisy

     Upon this rainy day.

 

The sheep bleated loudly

     And the dogs began to bark

But Mr Noah said: ‘Welcome!

     You’re all welcome to our ark!
