the first paradise

The First Paradise We humans are related to the dolphins  not so smooth, that's why we stayed  near sea was shallow Fruit trees grew near the shoreline and  often apples fell into the sea, which was as a blessing, and we walked ashore On dry land, we become aware of our nakedness and hastily covered our bodies in palm leaves Flirting and lifting palm leaves became a sport  disapproved of by the adults In the apple trees lived snakes; if a woman was bitten, she convulsed, and if not given  satisfaction becomes what we know as Karen  When children asked where we came from adults told us we came from Mars Now, scientists tell us they have found dry river beds on Mars. I say no more
