ADAM AND EVE

EXISTENCE WAS SO TRANQUIL AND

PEACEFUL FOR THE YOUNG COUPLE

ADAM AND EVE,

LIKE STRAIGHT OUT OF A STORY BOOK,

UNTIL ONE UNFORTUNATE DAY

WHEN ADAM SHOWED UP

ONE HOUR LATE FOR SUPPER.

BY THE TIME ADAM FINALLY

CAME HOME EVE WAS A NERVOUS WRECK

AND HER IMAGINATION

WAS WORKING OVERTIME.

“HONEY, WHAT HAPPENED?

WHY ARE YOU HOME SO LATE?”

QUESTIONED EVE.

“OH I’M SORRY!

ADAM RESPONDED WITH A WAVE OF HIS HAND,

“I JUST LOST TRACK OF THE TIME.”

NOW EVE DIDN’T HAVE A MOTHER OR

GIRLFRIEND AROUND TO CALM HER FEARS,

AFTER ALL IT WAS JUST HER AND

HER HUSBAND AND DESPITE ADAM’S

CONVINCING ACT HER OVERACTIVE

IMAGINATION COULD NOT BE CALMED.

THAT NIGHT AFTER TWO HOURS

OF RESTLESSLY TURNING IN HER BED,

ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH.

“WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING!”

HOLLERED ADAM JUMPING OUT OF BED.

“YOU KNOW DARN WELL WHAT I’M DOING”

SCREAMED EVE RIGHT BACK,

“NOW YOU BETTER LAY STILL RIGHT NOW

AND LET ME FINISH COUNTING THOSE RIBS!
