The Back Gates of Eden

Adam stares wistfully outside The back Gates of Eden As Jesus curses His name Whacking weeds with an idiot stick God uses a hollow frame of a serpent For a straw to sip ice cold lemonade Beneath the shade of the apple tree And Elvis trims his silver sideburns Seranading to Mother Mary holding a can of Spam As Moses hands out Tootsie Rolls to the odd Odd number of animals not on Noah's Ark And the kid from Dominoes Pizza Leaves without a tip for going to the Front Gates All deliveries are made at The Back Gates of Eden
