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.

Crikey Viv, I misread the title. I thought it was GENIUS and that's exactly what I think you are with your great light-hearted verse - Lindsay

I don't know what DIY is, maybe because I'm an American? I'm guessing. BUT I do know clever and entertaining, and this was both. Missed this wit of yours and now that I've had time to notice 'things', I see I was only one day late noticing your return. I enjoyed your poem, I'm moving towards the others you posted ... CayCay

Sorry, CayCay, I should have pointed out that 'DIY' is 'do it yourself' in England, anything from decorating to house maintenance, etc. Thanks for popping by, Viv x
