A star fell onto virgin earth <br />and triggered there a holy birth. <br />Forgive me, but it has been said <br />that until then the world was dead <br />and God who was the man in charge <br />was dreaming of a giant barge. <br /> <br />When plans were ripe for its construction <br />and formulas and smart deduction <br />had been laid out on God's own table <br />he mixed some dough, made Kain and Able <br />and told them 'go and fornicate', <br />which they sure did. At any rate <br />he soon had plenty human souls <br />to fill the shoes and take the roles <br />of changing into something clever <br />the deserts of the world forever. <br /> <br />But, in his haste and short of staff <br />he did take time to have a laugh, <br />had left his office for a minute <br />with all his lab equipment in it. <br /> <br />And as he looked upon the map <br />he had forgotten that the tap <br />was running in his office still <br />it was to be the biggest spill <br />of water that could ever be. <br /> <br />I think it scared him, but to flee <br />was not what Gods were meant to do <br />so he ordained quicksmart a crew <br />led by the first who stood nearby <br />his name was Noah, quite a guy. <br /> <br />So in the end all things went well <br />the arc itself went through the swell <br />of all the waters with great ease <br />was followed by a healthy breeze. <br />You see that's how the whole thing started, <br />and not because the Devil farted.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-it-all-began-2/
