“It is doneâ€, God said,
“It’s time to take a rest.â€
The angels marveled at the sun and stars,
Jesus liked the Earth the best.
God’s workshop was a jumble,
And Gabriel started to clean.
He found a pile of extra parts,
And caused some kind of scene.
“You know I can’t stand waste, Lord.
“You’ve got to use these bits,â€
“Can’t be done,†God told him.
“Nothing left there fits.â€
“You’re the Lord!†Said Gabriel,
“Ain’t nothing you can’t do.â€
So God jammed the bits together,
And made the platypus and you.

I shared this previously, but it seemed the perfect poem for April Fool’s Day. This is National Poetry month and I will attempt to post a poem a day — some of them might even be new!
