Multiplication Table

When Noah gathered creatures pair by pair In a barge ready to face the rough storm Giraffe and wife joined a sail to nowhere; As waters growled high, till moon grew deformed With nothing to frolic with, amidst the flood Giraffes delighted in hush of ashen dark Mating frequently on arc's trodden halls. New animals born, how can they embark And others followed despite bold rainfalls The Lord shocked, watching full procreation Said He, “ I forgot this extra supply Count the babes ,while I slow the sea’s motion, Why did I say, go forth and multiply?” .................. For Robert Heemstra and Poetess Darkly's Lessons In Life Are Funny Contest by nette onclaud

very nicely done, Nette. For some reason I was thinking this was a couplets form contest. Hope I am wrong about that! I enjoyed this one's cleverness.
