Eve's Lament

Eve blew the hair from out of her eyes “He thinks nothing matters except size!” “All he does is loll in the shade It would be so nice to move to the glade!” Eve picked a small critter from her thigh and said “God, why? Why give me this guy? He’s lazy, and crazy and talks to the baboon! And when night rolls around he thinks I will swoon!” “Adam, the man, the boss, yeah right, You could have handled that snake but it gave you a fright?” Don’t blame me, you’re the man, the one with the b*lls So, why blame tiny me for the trials of us all?” I was gifted to you. I’m your precious jewel “Adam dear Adam….please invent me some tools! I tired of seeing your scraggily hair and picking the critters out of our lair. Build me a house, find me a stone And if you don’t straighten up you’ll go home alone! *dedicated to Adam’s Lament by Bob Hinshaw

Deb, you are really getting into the Adam and Eve thing, now with two funny ones I see! Thanks so much for your welcome comment on my blog, and you are right, different editors look for different things, but don't you agree, all the good magazines do not accept laziness!! I mean, don't people realize we are talking about getting published? I was not meaning to come down on the poems posted at Soup, only to encourage those who actually care to strive for perfection! LUv, Andrea

Koolie, Debbie! I see you're having great fun here! And doing a wonderful job at it. I love the *! it works for every vowel except "O"...oh, well! LOL Have a super day. (I wonder when, after the fig leaf, Eve started wearing bikini's. No fat you say...no preservatives, only healthy carbs. OK!)

Too much self-praise. A great challenge to Adam to be modern man. Good luck in the contest
