After the Fall
Yesterday Eve saw a snake;
It called to her in passing:
"Don't worry Lass, God's humor is
Original and surpassing.
Two days from now you'll see how right
It was to take that first quick bite
With Adam sure to follow,
Though today it's hard to swallow.
So please don't fret, you ain't dead yet,
For pain is just an empty threat,
Though I'll be on my way today
Before Himself finds more to say,
And takes another body part;
His humor's what sets Him apart!
Adieu, my Sweet, Adieu."

Pilgrimage?
When Eve left for Rome to visit the Pope,
Adam stayed home to tend their tame goat.
What on earth did Eve have in mind?
A Francis encounter or pay-back in kind?
Who can tell in this secular age,
Though the Vatican stays
A great holy stage,
For which we Thank God--
Amen.

Eve Alone
Eve's in the Garden,
A perilous sight;
Adam's not present,
Something's not right.
Her beauty's like sun rays
Cutting through clouds;
Frolicing creatures
Attend her in crowds.
But something's not right,
She's in a blue funk;
If I didn't know better,
I'd blame Blossom the Skunk.
The Serpent is talking,
That's new today;
What in God's Garden
Could he possibly say?

Jupiter rules the star-rich night,
An ancient god cast out of light,
And yet, cast out he is indeed,
Replaced by the God of the Nicene Creed,
Who loves each planet, rock, and tree,
Who loves each soul--Adam to Thee.
