In the beginning

God made us, man and woman,

Stupid and naked

🍎

Snake did not lie first

No one ever talks about

Eve’s first headache

🍎

The apple taught us

That nakedness is shameful

Why make us that way?

🍎

One parenting tip

If you want to keep nice things

Put them out of reach

🍎

Painful childbirth

Just for eating an apple

Feels like overkill

🍎

Before the first wheel

Adam was first to throw his wife

Right under the bus

🍎

One of God’s first jokes

Why wasn’t Cain a farmer?

He wasn’t Abel

🍎

Be as the Lord God

If at first you don’t succeed

Wash away your sins

Author’s (unnecessary therapy) note: Thanks to my upbringing, I may have issues with a certain religion. If your faith brings you peace, and through you peace to others, then namaste.
