Let us momentarily contemplate The discourse on the very first date Adam: Father You've been busy lo' these six days Would it be too much to ask for a help mate? (From a rib Eve became my wife Then ribbed me for the rest of my life) Eve: Oh Adam ! Where shall we honeymoon? Adam: I hear Eden this time of year is in bloom (We had our first date in the Pleasance She bone of my bone. We cleave as one flesh) Adam: This rose (of Sharon) is for you my bride Eve: Who's Sharon?! Adam: Let's take these horses (I've named) for a ride Through the Sharon countryside Eve: Oh Adam! Look at he stars and moon I adore Adam: Breathtaking my love they've been since Day Four Oh my fairest with kisses better than spice Let us again be together on Day Eight and Nine Now let us return to our demesne As Father did intend
