Poem
I was the first man, to descend from the trees No cities or houses, just an innate desire to breed Stumbling upon paradise, finding everything I need And in exchange for a spare rib, God granted me Eve A no brainier you could say, all things considered She's so beautiful, my fig leaf is partially triggered Along comes one caveat, well nothing's free I figured Don't Eat From That Tree, as we both nervously tittered Life was so wonderful, and enjoyment was of plenty Rocked each others boat, quite a bit more than friendly Except for a voice in that tree, always trying to tempt me I told Eve to give it a wide berth, could well be some enemy Most times after lunch, we cavorted in the stream Laughing and teasing, one could say living the dream Playing hide and seek, kiss n tell, you know what I mean But something was still missing, knowledge or so it seemed One day whilst hunting, leaving Eve home all alone She got drawn to that tree, in her head a seed's sewn If You Eat My Fruit, the mind of your maker will be known Split this apple with pretty boy, and I swear all will be shown Before dinner Eve asks me, to share a golden delicious We craved more knowledge, it's desire, burning within us So after a lifetime of obedience, we disobeyed Gods wishes Ignorance proving to be most costly, of all human conditions By David Kavanagh
