Not Heeding But Eating

Eve my dear, God's word to us you did not heed. You ate of the tree then gave fruit to me we did not need. I can't blame you my dear for it was really my fault. I didn't have the balls to tell you no, so thus the serpents assault! I ate the fruit too and my eyes were opened to view, Things that I'd rather not had to deal with in this life so new. The garden was so beautiful and we had to leave. Now here we sit beside this fire with our memories and grieve. I'll have to work by the sweat of my brow now, And till the soil so we can grow food as God would allow. And you'll bare children in very much pain. And we'll learn to build houses to keep out of the rain! After thought: Is there an "If only?" I couldn't tell you. In God's great infinite plan the grand over all view. I believe it was meant to happen like it did. But being a man I still want to blame Eve and in this I DO NOT KID!!!!!!!!! Dedicated to my wife Linda....my EVE!!!

Eve was quite the temptress, Marty, but ladies will argue that Adam had the power of free will. I do like the humor in this poem and wish you success in the contest. Love, Carolyn
