Over the years half the story got lost
It was told but they called him a liar.
A story of labor, savior and cost.
Its the story of Jonah and his flier...

Jonah you are to build an ark.
Coat the timbers with nautilus shell.
It will act as an ageless bark.
You will save all of us from hell.

With a papyrus blueprint and ambition
Jonah set to work.
Toiling from midnight to the noon day sun.
But there was a quirk.

The goat ate the instructions.
Lord, I am done said Jonah.
No you are not, where the the engines?
You need it to save flower and fauna.

Oh God, damit can't you do a miracle?
I'm not saying its your fault but comon.
An object then appeared flat and spherical.
On the beach were parts most uncommon.

The storm was gathering and clouds loomed dark
The wind of the engine made a peculiar song
Jonah waited for the tortoise before they embark
Could he have waited too long.

Before the door could close a wave swamped the deck.
They glided to the bottom of a shallow sea
By morning Jonah left the air pocket
and began the story we now see.

All the nautilus were lost building the boat.
Jonah was saved by the whale.
The tortoise swam and learned to float.
The ark did not age or grow pale.

Then one day the sea gave up its secrets
the shallow sea was now deeper.
The age is clear from carbon 14 wood cuts.
The story is now for the seeker.
