Noah, S Ark Poem by Allan James Saywell

Noah, S Ark

Rating: 5.0


The deputy heads message was clear
Boys- -you have comitted
A great sin
To talk in scripture class
Interupt Father Fentons
Explanation of Noahs Ark
In front of this 1960 class
Sentence has been passed
There is no appeal
Nor one lodged
You will be paraded forthwith
In front of school assembly
To receive your allocated six strokes
With a delicate length of bamboo cane
Delivered with a great deal of ferocity
By Father Fenton himself
Disipline must be maintained
I, m still somewhat reluctant
To murmer while- - while in Church
Especialy during a serman on Noahs Ark

Apparently Father Fenton made quite an impact on his students, if you are still somewhat reluctant to say anything during a sermon. They definitely wanted to make lasting impressions to teach children lessons of life. Enjoyed reading this poem, Thank you for sharing it. RoseAnn
