In the Garden of Eden

In the Garden of Eden, if I were Eve,
There’s one thing that you must believe – 
Although temptation still would call,
An apple wouldn’t cause my fall.

Yet no one is immune to fate
And so I wouldn’t hesitate
To violate forbidden code
For apple pie – if a la mode!

A delightful read, Ilene. And, I doubt if you would find many who would disagree.

Very clever Ilene:) by-passing laws like that might not go down well with the judge! I too would be tempted...apple pie is one of my favs. All the best. // paul
