Jonah & the whale.first half

Consider with me if you will the incredible tale, of Jonah & the massive whale,That golloped him right down,Without the slightest frown,Then spewed him up upon the beach Right beside the town, Where God had told him he must preach;I wonder if the whale actually did feel sick,Or if Wisdom had determined some creative trick,He was a servant of Jehovah & happy preaching to the Jews,But the Lord determined he must reach whoever he might choose,But he so hated those Assyrians They had just been so cruel,Why should he ever preach to them,Did God take him for a fool,They were as barbaric & inhumane as any to ever march the earth,Skinning enemies alive torturing them,treating them of no value of no worth,Inflicting such suffering & torment on Jews in times of war,It had made dear Jonahs heart Xtremely sore,He had pondered the matter deeply,considered it very well & determined never to preach to them they deserved to burn in hell,But our God of everlasting love,gazed longingly from his throne above,Yearning that people from all nations at least should have the chance,To repent of all their sin so in his presence they could dance ,For some from every tongue & tribe & nation,To join with him in heavens eternal celebration,So when his disobedient servant sailed the other way, On this his sad & most unhappy day,He just blew gently from on high,& made the tempestuous sea & sky,Just a tiny puff,was no doubt quite enough,to make the waters more than just a little rough ,So turn on with me if you will that Utube in your brain, & youll be shaken to the core & understand a little more the prophets awful pain, One small word of caution & our show is underway , Note carefully how Jehovah both power & wisdom does display, So sit back & relax right there in that comfortable armchair,And wonderingly behold the prophets deep despair,Slip on those special sailing in the opposite direction,Little dreaming of Gods creative way to correct the bad connection,
