When Adam delved and Eve span

he was not a perfect husbandman

and her homespun wasn't up to much

if fig-leaves did for clothes as such.

 

Their downfall due to rosy fruit

evicted from Paradise to boot!

If he had dug and planted out

peas, beans, potatoes and Brussel's sprout

the sarpint couldn't have climbed up

and tempted Eve the pomme to sup.

Did he not see the wily snake

and feel the need dire steps to take?

 

One thing to me is still unclear -

if sexual coupling was to fear

I'm quite unable to deduce

how we were meant to reproduce!

To multiply requires this act

a proven scientific fact!
