Poem
Once there was a man named Adam He walked around very alone Until a loneliness made him fathom A name for all of these animals Would truly make this place Feel much more like home He started with the green ones For they had caught his eye Frog, lizard, toad and turtle Then doves and eagles flying high Deer, horse then the wallaby Trying so hard not to do a pun He named the floating one, butterfly Then he started on the blue, on land and sea Until he finished with the golden sun At last it was done, he went to the garden Very tired and hungry, he found a fruit tree Then heard a voice that was warning him This one forbidden choose another, thee No problem as there was plenty So, he ate some bananas and kiwi Sleeping sound on grass of green Until he awoke to a happy laughter It was Eve, the first person he had seen He called out, come here and talk They laughed, they ate and they talked And while on a long slow walk Adam showed Eve the beautiful land The sea and the great rivers Along with the troubling tree That stands among the timbers Forbidden, they can never even touch They walked around it wondering Why the tree snake had whispered "these apples are so sweet" in hush Adam and Eve had them for lunch Fell fast asleep in each others arms Their dreams were of a dark abyss Banished from the garden, punished But as the time passed and went on They were blessed with these two sons There was Abel, who knew all the animals And then Cain, who grew the golden corn It was a very great time for Adam and Eve So as Cane and Abel grew up strong and tall They praised and thanked the Holy Lord Who made the sky's touch the waterfall
