The First Argument

With the onset of earth
man became birthed
perplexed, he pondered his purpose
swamped with wildlife
fish and birds rife
am I meant to run a circus?

I'll need entertainers
and animal trainers
a tent constructed of kelp 
moreover, an audience 
to add due ambiance 
where to start?  "Oh, heaven help!!"

"Howdy there
was that a prayer?
Please call me Master or my pet name King
May I call you Adam
short for Macadam
the nickname has a rather cute ring."

"Master, is my purpose
to start a circus?"
"Of sorts but not quite, progenitor ace
I'll gift you a wife
for furtherance of life
but pray don't fall foul of my grace?"

"Nice round to my buns
but I'm still half-done
my titties are dry and flat as a deck
no ring in my bell
nuts without shell.
Will my partner be built to full spec?"

Adam and Eve 
were both naive 
lacking in sex education
their juicy parts hidden
and some fruit forbidden
their order was tall:  create a world nation

Eve, foolish girl
gave it a whirl
succumbed to the charm of a snake
Adam lost flavor
when he sought favor
she begged off;  invented the headache

Adam had to release
his lust appease
sans sex dolls and movies tinged blue
a hard task at hand
he took a firm stand
the first argument ever ensued:

"Your sordid affair's
neither here nor there
admittedly there's a hole in my pride
at being deceived
but now I'm aggrieved
my own conjugal rights are denied."

Eve always did like the bad boy so why shouldn't Adam like the bad girl or metaphorical doll? Allan

Great worded rhyme, Delysia! It sures takes off the edge of reading Genesis. But I'm sure God will forgive you. I'm also enjoying reading your other poems. Thanks for your comment on my verbose suit salesman.

If one could peep behind the veil of Isis certainly it would be this he could read! A labyrinth of thoughts and ideas perplexing the mind for the target difficult to find would be! The first and last argument: Damn you fruit! Clever, entertaining, provoking! Impressive work nevertheless!

Snickers of humor and appreciation for the structure and content of this. I'd be so exhausted trying to duplicate this effort. I need to rest.

Delysia, I just discovered you're in South Africa, a favorite country of mine where I lived a couple of years. Haven't been back in a while.

I'm in love with your wit... You are like an amazing "punchline poet"! I had to stop and smile at the line "she begged off; invented the headache" Remarkable! I will work through your entire inventory if it's the last thing I do -Very Good Work! MC
