The Tree

(The tree)

It all started with a tree
Or so everybody was told!
The fruit was delicious...
Think! I was the first to be tempted
Couldn't resist
And ate until full,
Well I was hungry...what else could I do!
Enjoyed it...so much
Decided to give... to my hubby!
We made the most of It,
Stripping the tree bare 
Filling our bags to the brim,
Taking home for the family,
Made a lovely pie,
Shared it with friends at church,
They loved It,
Wasn't entiley honest,
They started acting strange,
Taking all their books 
Stacking and piling high,
Their eyes had been opened
Knowledge flowing from their mouths 
Secrets from the beginning of time,
We understand now,
Why hadn't we seen it before,
Life is so simple,
All we needed was love.
