Sonnet

Go to Nineveh the great city.
And preach to them as I told you to.
On Jonah we should have pity.
What could he do.

We shy away also from the challenge.
We end up where we would rather not be.
Our fate is savage.
We refuse to see.

But after trial we muddle through.
We cannot resist the call.
We always of course knew.
Even if we have to crawl.

We will eventually pass on what we are told.
Everything else has long since been sold.

Haiku

We will now pass on
Everything we are once told
That is our duty
