Adam Speaks To Eve

I was all alone
  When first I did roam
     Through our Paradise,
So I asked Him above
  For someone to love
    And He made you, oh, so nice.

You were a pain in the side
  When I first did abide
    To let Him borrow my rib,
But Eve it is true
  When first I saw you
    I was certainly glad that he did.

Then you were a pain in the neck
  When you said, “What the heck,
    Let’s eat the apple forbidden.”
And a pain in the ass
  When you and that asp
    From Eden had us all driven.

So stop nagging me
  To find a fig tree
    So you can buy yourself some clothes,
We’ve committed a sin
  And now within
    The evil is starting to grow.

But in the end
  I’ll admit my friend
    That even with this pain and sorrow,
I’d have to say
  It’s a better today
    Than if you weren’t here tomorrow.


Dedicated to LMB and all Eves without leaves.  
I think its time we returned to Paradise, shed our insecurities, 
our fear of our naked bodies, our outter garments and all hop into the hot tub together.  
Mine is heated and has plenty of room.  All are invited to make Poet soup.

Like the rhymes and the natural approach and dialog, only I don't know any guys who buy their women's clothes anymore.? Good luck.
