A Rib On Adam!

Just a rib, that's all she was... a helpmate made for man,

The tender, loving, female type.... that's how it all began.

Now Adam was a simple guy with NOT much on the ball,

But when she led him so astray 'twas mankind's greatest fall!



They say she didn't mean to sin, this she-male known as Eve,

So could it be, (just possibly) that she was just naive?

I doubt that very strongly for I think she knew the score.

It seems to be more likely that old Adam was a BOOR!



Well, anyhow, they left the scene of Eden's paradise

And sallied forth into the world to try and colonize.

Then Cain and Abel came along to fill their empty lives

And grew up into manhood searching all the while for WIVES!



Now really, folks, I'll tell you, this story should end here,

These two guys could find NO girls tho THEY looked EVERYWHERE!

I really can't imagine how old Adam's family spread,

The next thing history tells us is that CAIN killed ABEL dead!



But anyhow, we've still got Eve and Adam and ONE son,

Put two and two together and... ( or was it TWO and ONE?)

So after hundreds of "begats," old Adam passed away

But not our charming heroine, she DISAPPEARED one day!



I'd better end this parody and say a little prayer

But first I must remind you, she may turn up ANYWHERE!

So everytime you meet a pretty girl who's name is EVE,

Just be sure that she's not hiding a big APPLE up her sleeve!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this at a time when my youngest daughter thought of me as a "male-chauvinist." Perhaps I was, then... I would like to think I have evolved a bit since then...
