It's all how you look at it -Adam, Eve, snakes- what's not to laugh at? (Form: Quatrains) |
Genesis God smiled down at Adam, created by his hands, and gave him sole dominion over oceans and the lands. Adam soon became bored with his exalted station and petitioned God for someone "just for conversation." One night while Adam slept, God removed his rib and created Eve, who turned out to be quite glib. Now keeping track of one was not too intensive but keeping track of two made God apprehensive. He called upon his children and warned them not to stray and avoid the apple tree or face his great dismay. Rumor has it that Eve was conned into a mistake and ate the fruit of knowledge offered by a snake. Her comprehension spread to Adam, like a strange infection, and soon both he and Eve learned a new word – "erection." They learned the joys of masturbation which led them both to sex and from that moment on we know the meaning of "complex". God's will had been thwarted. Out of Eden they were thrown and he added one last punishment: children of their own. Since Eve was the perpetrator, the first to disobey, she has a monthly reminder which continues to this day. The story is still told of how they were forced to roam and how Eve was to blame. She ate them out of house and home.

Groans for the pun, however, must be kept to yourself Ken |
