The woman kept on nagging me my friend that is no fib I can't believe they made her from my godforsaken rib I wish she had a sister or a sympathetic friend Cuz if I hear another word it might just be the end
I guess that God almighty must have heard my faithful plea She's found a talking serpent in the garden by a tree They sit and chat for hours about what I do not care As long as I am over here and she is over there
I think it was a Sunday when my troubles all began She showed up with a present from her slimy serpent friend A single, perfect apple that was beautiful and red I should have been suspicious but I took a bite instead
All at once I noticed she was naked thru and thru And a cold wind made me realize that I was naked too I looked around for something that would cover up my shaft She handed me a fig leaf and gave a mocking laugh
I said 'you find this funny but you need to realize Something here is different and some evil’s on the rise' She pointed at my genitals which left me void of pride 'The only thing that's rising is that thing you're trying to hide'
I spun myself away from her a perfect pirouette I didn’t know for certain just how big this thing would get She laughed at my confusion and snickered at my shame ‘You’re the only man I’ve ever known but I bet you’re all the same’
I said ‘we need to focus on the matter now at hand Maybe that old rattlesnake can tell us where we stand’ And as I spoke these words to her The serpent slid away He said ‘I’d love to stick around but really, I can’t stay’
As soon as he had disappeared the ground began to quake Old Yahweh came before us and he said ‘for goodness sake! Did you guys eat the apples from that sacred apple tree?’ I said ‘it was this woman here who gave the fruit to me’
The woman said ‘that rattlesnake has played an evil trick He took me to the apple tree and bade me take my pick He said I would be as a God the smartest on the block But all that really happened was I laughed at Adam's ****'
Things were going very bad I came to realize It's bad enough we ******* God but why insult my size? Then Yahweh said 'I've heard enough and cannot let this pass' He tossed me from the garden and I landed on my ***
A half a second later Eve was flying overhead She cleared my mark by 15 feet and landed on her head Two angels at the garden gate advised us not to linger Despite their wings and flaming swords Eve gave them the finger
I looked into her smiling eyes and found I didn’t care She looked extremely lovely with her finger in the air All at once I understood where I was meant to be I could deal with any hell on earth if she was there with me
Well now it’s been a thousand years and I kneel at her grave The only thing I ever loved alas I could not save I cast my eyes into the sky and think about the price Yes Eden was a garden...
But she was paradise
For Carol who has been my paradise for more than 25 years.
