The history of domestic abuse

They were outside

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!
