Why It Grows

When Eve turned over a new leaf
God heard Adam mutter, "Good grief!"
But grief is not good
God misunderstood
And thought Eve just needed more beef

Ha.... ha.... ! Besides many other goodies in Paradise, did God do anything to satisfy Eve's strange whim.... (if He heard it that way). Thanks for the chuckle you gave on New Year's Day, Rico !
