Adam and Eve

Adam
tasked with naming Eden’s spectacle.
all was very good -
even quite respectable.

Eve
named the mother of all living things
after she bit the fruit of good and evil’s seed.
Costly to the only couple - the serpent’s cling.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/16/2019 2:29:00 PM Kim, I kept hoping you would change the rhyme scheme to AABB. If you had, your clerihew would have placed higher. Congratulations on your placement. Best wishes, Carolyn Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 1/16/2019 2:34:00 PM Thank you, Carolyn! Somehow I missed that! I was looking at the “Types of Poems” page where they said usually only the first name is used...oops.
