The Ten Plagues

When Pharaoh got nasty

and mean and deceiving

and wouldn't agree

to the Israelites' leaving,

God sent him ten plagues

so he might change his mind,

and the Jews could leave

terrible Egypt behind.

There was

blood in the gutters

and frogs in the butter,

and lice on their heads

and beasts in their beds,

disease in the cattle

and big boils in the saddle.

Hail started showering

and locusts devouring.

It turned dark as a pit.

Then the first-born were hit.
