Eve Meets Frank (Adam)
"Adam, you done jabbering?
Quit those lips a flappin'!
And you think I wanted to be stuck with you?
Get a clue! Throw me some Brad Pitt!
In fact, Adam, Ima call you Frank...
because oh MAN you sure do stank!"
"And don't you call me Baby!
He was right, you are crazy!
Thinkin' you're going be sittin' around lazy?
You better get to digging in that ground,
digging me up some food before you get drowned!
And you better do it without making a sound."
"As for that Slinky dude, at least
he ain't got no attitude!
And he knows how to listen to a woman,
'stead of sittin' on his duff chillin'."
And Frank (I call him because he still stank)
Began to see me in a whole new light.
In my beautiful Garden, he has to be taught,
After all, God told me he lacked in thought.
And my friend, the snake, by the way... was a misprint
Author made a mistake.
My friend the snake - there was no evil.
He is around in case I need to get 'Medieval'
on this fool Adam (Frank..who has yet to bathe).
"Now Frank, go to the river and bathe so I
don't have to smell your stink, then you can
come back and apologize. Perhaps then we'll see
if I'll let you kiss my feet."
And that is the story of Adam and Eve,
or Amy and Frank, if you please.
*For my chosen Adam, Frank Herrera.
