A Single Thought

the trees have told me things
that i went and told the rocks
the rocks then told the grass
and took it in with many shocks

the grass then told the cows
and being slow had to explain
then the cows walked on two legs
no longer will smarts be a pain

the cows then told the pigs
who squealed a chant to stop the cows
who now donned preistly clothing
wearing ankhs around their brows

the pigs then told the snakes 
who sat and nodded with a grin
a single snake told eve and then
he filled her up with sin

the eve had told the tree
 who dropped a single fruit in shock
and the fruit told adams lips and friends
creating us a flock
