The Child's Bible Stories comical poem number 529 by Angela Lansbury

Antique Noah's ark toy. Photo author Thomas Quine in Wikipedia.


My favourite story was Noah's Ark

More animals than the zoo and my park

But the whole bible I'd not read at all

It's big and heavy - the print's far too small


At school I learned about day and night

Which started when God said, 'Let there be light!'

He was alone and talked to himself

Everyone knows that's not good for your health


He made Adam and Eve, some people believe

And also a snake, which was a mistake

Eveyone knows that snakes are no good

It wouldn't let ancestors do what they should


I learned father, Christmas, wore red and white

His wife, mother, Mary, held their baby tight

Three wise men rode camels, they'd missed the plane 

I'd not got it right, but no-one explained 


When you like a book, what do you do?

You ask the librarian for the book two

They renamed the bible, the 'Old' testament

And promoted the next one with the word 'New'.
