Adam's Apple of His Eye .

Say Lady , it's hard to believe With this serpent tugging my sleeve Saying " head for the chapel Here's a nice juicy apple Ring her bell , it's now New Years Eve " . So , Sweet Rib , what is your name ? " I'm your Eve , with no in-laws to blame . So , well done my boy Lets go forth .... multiply. But , that fig leaf's too small for your shame ". It's a biblical thing , not a fable As our sons sat around our new table Each others bad nemesis Listening to Genesis Discovering Cain wasn't " able " . Our Garden Of Eden was class As it shimmered with silver and brass . But the Lord said " lets go . Here's a rake and a hoe . Clear the weeds , and that snake from the grass ". Dedicated to my 2 favorite Eves : Christmas & New Years ..
