I am looking for the poem, Why the floods came, Anon?

Question

The poem is about Noah and the flood

Answer 1

And the lord said unto Noah:
"Where is the ark which I commanded you to build?"

And Noah said unto the Lord:
"Verily I have had three carpenters off ill. The gopher wood supplier hath let me down - yea, even though the gopher wood hath been on order for night upon twelve months. The dampcourse specialist hat not turned up. What can I do, O Lord?"

And God said unto Noah:
"I want that ark finished even after seven days and seven nights."

And Noah said:
"It will be so".

And it was not so.

And Noah said:
"It will be so".

And the Lord said unto Noah:
"What is the trouble this time?"

And Noah said unto the Lord:
"Mine sub-contractor hath gone bankrupt. The pitch which thou commanded me to put on the outside and on the inside of the ark hath not arrived. The Plumber hath gone on strike."

Noah rent his garments and said:
"The Glazier departeth on holiday to Majorca - yea, even though I offerest him double time. Shem, my son who helpeth me on the ark side of the business, hath formed a pop group with his brothers ham and japeth. Lord, I am undone."

And lo, it was not fufilled.

And Noah said unto the Lord:
"The gopher wood is definitely in the warehouse. Verily, and the gopher wood supplier waiteth only upon his servant to find the invoices before he delivereth the gopher wood unto me."

And the Lord grew angry and said:
"What about the Animals? Of fowls after their kind and of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind two of every sort have I ordered to come unto thee to keep them alive. Where, for example, are the Giraffes?"

And Noah said unto the Lord:
"They are expected today".

And the Lord said unto Noah:
"And where are the clean beasts, the male and the female, to keep their seed alive upon the face of the earth?"

And Noah said:
"The van cometh on Tuesday; yea, and yea it will be so."

And the Lord said unto Noah:
"How about the Unicorns?"

And Noah wrung his hands and wept, saying:
"Lord, Lord they are a discontinued line. Thou canst not get unicorns for love nor money."

And God said:
"Where are the monkeys and the bears and the hippopotami, and the elephants, and the zebras, and the hartebeests, two of each kind, and of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female?"

And Noah said unto the Lord:
"They have been delivered unto the wrong address but should arriveth on Friday; all save the fowls of the air by sevens, for it hath just been told unto me that fowls of the air are sold only in Half Dozens."

And Noah kissed the Earth and said:
"Lord, Lord, thou knowest in thy wisdom what it is like with delivery dates."

And the Lord in his wisdom said:
"Noah, my son, I knowest. Why else dost thou think I have caused a flood to descend upon the earth?"

Answer 2
