Genesis
Genesis
Those early days in paradise for both of them were bliss
they strolled God's earthly garden, briefly stopping for a kiss.
No house for them to live in, so no need for DIY
no cooking for young Eve, on fruit and veg they both got by.
Then Satan came in scary form (a snake, no, not a spider)
and talked Eve into home brewing, her first attempt at Cider.
By climbing God's forbidden tree from God's law did she drift
and when he found out, boy oh boy was our Creator miffed.
He took away their Godliness, leaving them with no kit
and off they ran to find some cover for their naughty bits.
The pair would not have disobeyed if they knew what now lurked
for Eve got all the ironing, while Adam went to work.
* DIY in England is 'Do it yourself', i.e decorating, gardening, maintenance etc.
