Free Will

God commanded Adam not to eat of the fruit of a certain tree,

Because it would affect him and Eve quite badly.

But the woman, tempted by the serpent,
Ate of it one day,

And not even her spineless husband
Got in the way.

And God asked Adam 
“Have you eaten of the forbidden tree?”

Yes, 
It’s the woman’s fault, don’t you see?

“Adam, why did you disobey? This I can’t excuse.”

Umm,.. 'cause I respect a woman’s 
right to choose?

“SO DO I.  
NOW YOU BOTH LOSE.”

Interesting take on the story of the original temptation and fall of humans. I often wonder what would have happened if Adam had refused to eat of the fruit. How do you supppose that the story would have gone? Great topic that you have chosen. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
