Pinocchio And Jonah
by David Pekrul Pinocchio and Jonah met in the Square, They both were complaining, "It just isn't fair, That both our Creators would show little justice, By treating us both like two little puppets." For God had a job for Jonah to do, But he wouldn't do it and said he was through, Having strings being pulled both this way and that, So he jumped on a ship like a spoiled little brat. Pinocchio wanted to be a small boy, But Geppetto was pulling his strings like a toy, Instead of obeying, he tried to rebel, But his nose started growing and people could tell. They both ended up in the guts of a whale, And all they could do was tread water and bail, And think how they struggled when God tried to teach, Until they were finally tossed onto a beach. Let's listen real well as we hear this sad tale, Of Pinocchio, Jonah and Mostro the whale, And learn a great lesson, to do as we should, Whether we are a person or made out of wood. by David Ronald Bruce Pekrul www.myhiddenvoice.com The poetry of David Ronald Bruce Pekrul If this article is used in any publication, please send a copy of the publication to David Pekrul at 170 Carr Cres.
