THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Added on: 13th Jul 2015
One day in the Garden of Eden,
Eve calls out to God,
"Lord, I have a problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"Lord, I know you've created me and
have provided this beautiful garden
and all of these wonderful animals
and that hilarious comedy snake,
but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve?"
came the reply from above.
"Lord, I am lonely.
And I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well, Eve, in that case,
I have a solution.
I shall create a man for you."
"What's a 'man', Lord?"
"This man will be a flawed creature,
with aggressive tendencies,
an enormous ego
and an inability to empathize
or listen to you properly.
All in all, he'll give you a hard time.
But, he'll be bigger and faster and
more muscular than you.
He'll be really good at fighting and
kicking a ball about and
hunting fleet-footed ruminants
and not altogether bad in the sack."
"Sounds great," says Eve,
with an ironically raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, well.
He's better than a poke in the
eye with a burnt stick.
But, you can have him on one condition."
"What's that, Lord?"
"You'll have to let him believe
that I made him first."
