This place I’m in

            I find it very interesting, my son wrote,
            that the Garden of Eden was in Iraq,
            and that Mesopotameia in Iraq 
            was the Cradle of Civilization.
            Noah built the Ark in Iraq.
            The Temple of Babel was built there.
            Abraham, whom I mentioned before, was from  Iraq.
            Rebekah, Issac’s wife, was from Nabor in Iraq.
            Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.
            Jonah preached in Nineveh in Iraq.
            Assyria, that conquered the Ten Tribes of Israel,
            was Iraq, and Amos cried out in Iraq.
            Babylon, destroyer of Jerusalem, 
            and Daniel was in the lion’s den in Iraq.

            One of my truck drivers reminded me
            that the three Hebrew children
            were thrown in the furnace
            and Jesus was the fourth one in there.
            Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, 
            took the Jews captives into Iraq.
            He also said Ezekiel preached in Iraq
            and the three wise men were from Iraq,
            he cautioned me that he was not a Christian
            himself, and I should not think him one.
