Adam and Eve

In paradise they met and mated,
And soon they daily copulated,
With the result of this affair,
A mess of little ones needing care,
But the big cheese, up there above,
Did not approve of illicit love,
Deemed it behavior in a stable,
And lectured them
With some phony fable
About an apple and a snake,
Claimed their carnality
Was a sinful mistake,
Enough, to throw
Them out of paradise,
An act, certainly not wise,
Because from that day on,
Man knew, god wasn't very nice.
