the Gates of Eden
facing a lifetime ban
in a duel
between a golf club
and a frying pan.
The honeymoon was now
over
with a telling clue
that domestic abuse
colors our eyes
with black and blue.
Eve was tired
from doing all of the cooking
when Adam made the call
of yelling "Fore to my brothers"
while trying to hit
a little white ball.
So the Creator stepped in
and shook
His weary head
and thought
"this is one idea
in which I should lay dead."
He had given them
free will
and independent choice.
Then Adam and Eve
bickered constantly
as they found their voice.
The Creator knew
that human nature
would be hard to please
so he replaced the problem
with just frogs on lily pads
and birds in trees.
It went back to a silent world
when He decided
to abort
and thankfully
the history of domestic abuse
had been painfully short!
