Here is a poem that I have been working on.  It is inspired by a passage in the Gospel of Matthew found in chapter 12 verses 38-45.

 The men of Nineveh will stand,

Who did repent at Jonah's words,

This generation to condemn,

Demanding further evidence.

The sign of Jonah scorned,

The sign of Jonah scorned.

The Queen of Sheba, she will rise,

Who came to hear from Solomon,

This generation to condemn,

Whose wisdom stands between belief.

The sign of Jonah scorned,

The sign of Jonah scorned.

There is but one sign we should need,

Yea, greater than sea creatures be,

And wiser still than Solomon,

And from the grave did rise again,

This sign of Jonah scorned,

This sign of Jonah scorned.
