And God Gave Him a Woman

AND GOD GAVE HIM A WOMAN When God first made the man, He said,"What have I done? He just sits there alone, He's not having much fun. I want all of My creatures, To enjoy their life. I know what I'll do, I'll create him a wife." So God set to work, And He put him to sleep, And as he slumbered, The Lord dug down deep; From his heart at the center, He took the first part, "She'll be filled with emotion, She willl be his heart; The thing in this world, That he loves the most, He'll love her and keep her, In her will he boast." From under his arm, He next took a rib, From a place in his side, Near the lungs where it hid, Protected from harm, And the wind and the rain, "He'll lean on her, Should he come up lame; For she is his helpmate, Companion for him, When he's tired or sad, She'll comfort him." When Adam awoke, And saw her at his side, He smiled as God told him, "Here is your bride." "She's the prettiest thing, That I`ve ever seen, But it`s funny you know, Of a sudden it seems, I can no longer stand, So I better sit down, She can get what I need, It`s good she`s around.` Judy Ball (And that`s the way it`s been ever since)
