Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

To Earn a Pardon

Adam and Eve sneaked back to the Garden
Hoping to earn for their sin a pardon
   Eve saw the damn snake
   And began to quake
Snapped snake: "Out of this garden you're barred in."

Kurt Ravidas August 14, 2019 at 11:58 AM Hm, a snake, enjoying its solitude in the garden of Eden... IT'S ME! EVE, GO AWAY!!!1111)) P.S.: How does your poetry do it, Wolf? I mean, making me sizzle and squirm with pleasure? Gershon Wolf August 14, 2019 at 12:35 PM It's all because my poetry is so squizzly, I guess. LOL. Thanks, Kurt! :) gw

Lindsay Laurie August 13, 2019 at 11:02 PM G'day Gershon … but snakes are deaf Gershon so Eve's in strife still - thank you Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf August 14, 2019 at 12:33 PM The snake in the Garden wasn't deaf. He could speak and hear like you and me. Hard to get our arms around now though. :) gw
