I Ran -

I shared an apple with a friend I didn't know we were sinners, and God's calling He said no don't eat of the apple Too ashamed we had our faces And then we ran we were disgraces I was disobedient did not obey so I ran I held a door open for a woman Just trying to be a gentleman She was offended cussed me out So I turned my head and ran south I shared my pains with my family And fellow humans and some friends No one cared so I cried ... all alone broken so I died Yes! Before I laid down and died I hid, I ran

Interesting stanzas, James. I had the same experience with a woman years ago, so I have become less a gentleman when it comes to door-opening.
