P.S. Awtry Poet Couplet

Six-Word Couplet Series Encore

this couplet series
Bible's first book
A quick look

In the beginning
universe God’s creation
seventh day relaxation

Adam and Eve
one forbidden tree
ushers in misery

Cain and Abel
Cain kills Abel
Obviously not stable

Noah and the Ark
Catastrophic worldwide flood
fossils in mud

Tower of Babel
tower left unfinished
language power diminished

Abraham and Sarah
finally promised son
old age fun

Sodom and Gomorrah
short of ten
destroyed for sin

Jacob and Esau
after birthright sale
Jacob named Israel

12 tribes
Israel has sons
coat for one

Joseph
brothers sold him
he saved them

End of Genesis
all seems roses
next up Moses
