HUMOR IN GOD'S CREATION
by John E. DeCock


The God of creation has humor and wit.
            You see it in all that He made;
The shapes He would use, whatever He did,
            hilarious, what He did create.

Now think of the monkeys; they're funny to see,
            with fingers on hands and on feet.
To outdo them all, He made the chimpanzee,
            with red, white and blue on their seat.

On sea, in the air, on land on the ground,
            God's humor is just everywhere;
A bridge made of rock, keep looking around
            't is made in good taste and with care.

 He made the fast sharks, but had a surprise;
            and timed it so right when He said,
with a smile on his face and twinkling eyes:
            "Now let's make a hammerhead".

The crown of creation, yes surely is man;
            His image and likeness He made.
He formed him from dirt, according his plan,
            to rule over all He 'd create.

Now Adam was not like the mammals around;
            they're all male and female in gender.
No men was like God and so he was found,
            yes Adam was one like his sender.

And then something happened 't was funny indeed,
            and God had more fun with his plan.
So He gave to Adam according his need,
            A partner just fitted for man.

He opened the chest while he was asleep
            yes, this was the first operation.
Got out what is female, really God did dig deep,
            deserving the greatest ovation.

Now man has a partner, you know it is better.
            't Is so funny how God did proceed,
He said: "You're one" and brought them together,
            Yes God took good care of his need.

They talked and they walked and sharing their lot,
            they cried and were ready to give.
"Now you stay together as image of God,
             be faithful as long as you live".

The wonderful reason why together they stay,
            't is the likeness of God don't you see.
Now God does not separate with parting His way,
            how awful such action would be!

We as His children would deeply be hurt.
            Two ways we must go in our prayer.
No, He stays together, just trust in His word,
            just call Him and He will be there.

What a humorous concept, a glorious way;
            They're two whom God did unite.
And that in God's image, together they stay,
            beware so no one shall divide!
