Aside from a shipbuilder of renown,
Noah was a hunter of a new kind --
the first to capture and not “put-down”
every land animal he could find.
And he determined the sex of each one
so that when the time came to disembark
none would be consigned to oblivion
but could procreate when they left the ark.
Therefore he was the first zoologist
and also the very first zookeeper.
He was also quite an ecologist,
but probably not much of a sleeper;
two of every animal that crawls
had to produce tremendous caterwauls.
