Adam and Eve

‘.’’’…………..’’. Lush Eden was the garden of Eve Bored with Adam, she took a leave The snake enticed her with red apples And got rich selling creamy truffles Adam formed a new wife from clay Not asking the Master, he needed a ray But other men admired this woman slim Adam's disobedience, another original sin? © * this is just for fun..according to TPS, " a clerihew is usually whimsical, showing the subject from an unusual point of view;but it is hardly ever satirical, abusive or obscene." ‘’’’ ‘ ‘’’’’ P.D.’s Battle of the Clerihew By nette onclaud

I see the comments, under others comments. Two below...wasn't aware someone other than the owner of the page could comment under someone's comment. If that makes sense. This clerihew is different than the others I read, but cute and points to ponder. Enjoyed !!

Morning Nette, I find it odd that someone could make anonymous remarks like they have below..It seems that someone has nothing more important to do..This poem is very cute and laced with biblical fruit..I don't think anyone tackled Adam and Eve..The note at the bottom was very helpful too.GWendolen

Eh, Nette...wasn't Adam the only Man in Eden? If that were true, Eve must have been very beautiful to have so many admires! I love how you penned this witty Clerihew. Good luck with the contest. Hugs, Andrew.
