Those That Tell the Truth

Those That Tell the Truth

God wanted to make world that was grand
Forever and ever He planned and planned;
What if He will put this thing over there?
With only one thing you cannot compare.

Secret of anything is for you to make two
And even thought you will have only a few,
Into what category do they both belong?
Of twins one is bigger, taller and strong.

Good heavens, sex God will have to choose;
And some say that if you snoze you lose;
So God started to wait until seventh day
Which was either Saturday or a Sunday.

In some cases, Sunday will be the first
For communion and wine if you have a thirst
Along with bread an extremely small piece
And this on life will give you a new lease.

You will have to take all of this in stride
Why in world would God want to have lied;
Was a big fight between Cane and Able
Who were later wise men while in a stable.

It is in God who we will always believe
First people he made were Adam and Eve
He had thought through day and into night
Then built Garden of Eden far out of sight.

God put people's names on a long label
And found out women liked telling a fable
Ate fruit from tree which was forbidden
Deep in dark forest for long time hidden.

Adam said he would die for good piece of pie
Then Eve said some of hers he should try;
On table from God landed a yellow canary
In mouth incredibly was carrying a cheery.

Adam asked Eve if anyone there had anymore;
Pretty pie had fallen and eventually hit the floor
And for a whole while longer Adam had waited;
He discovered that pie had been reincarnated.

Pie no longer appeared to be the same
And a cheery one it had just became
But people lived in a place that was Papal
They all preferred their pie to be an apple.

Washington never would ever tell a lie
Cherries in White House were in short supply;
Cut down cheery tree and again he had not lied
There was a present for him somewhere inside.

This is when George was put to the test
After he had opened an old ice chest
Looked inside and all that he could see
Was cherries and debris from the cheery tree.

Washington's great plan had been well laid
And for it no American would want to trade
Pulled out lovely laptop and he read a tweak
There are enough cherry pies for a whole week.
