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
