We have sung the water song and baptized the children
Now, halfway through the sermon, a dull roar on the roof
Announces the storm
Heavier, more insistent!
The preacher then says "let's turn this church upside down"
And the congregation notice, maybe for the first time
How waterproof this place is
A giant, overturned Viking boat, blond wood-braced
Arrangements are made
The pews fastened to the ceiling, and the ship righted
The worshippers take oar, and out into the flooded world they go
