Eve didn't want to share the apple, y'know -
she and the snake had it all worked out:
All that meek, mild and
flapping the lashes bit -
that was a dis-arming trick.
She was just biding her time ...
So when the snake said "Bite" she bit
and OOOOOHHEEEEEE!
Wasn't it delicious -
all that sweet juicy knowledge running through
her lips...
Leastways, that's how she figured it,
'cause she didn't know that Adam would be so slick.
Adam sent for God.
Well, He was the Captain of Adam's team, y'know, so
He said, "C'mere, son" and showed him a ½ nelson
and a few more handy tricks
and Adam,
not wanting to get rusty,
went out and tried 'em right away...
Eve fought back
but Adam wrestled the remains of the apple from her
and while he had her on the ground he reckoned he'd
wipe that damn grin and the rest of that juice
off her face.
He really was a bastard.
"Touchdown, God! "
he cried.
"Good work, son . That'll teach them uppity women."
God sure looked satisfied.
