A little bit of humour not to be taken seriously


In the beginning! Man was naked,
and knew not nor cared he were-
But on the first day he placed a fig
over his nakedness,
And Man said let there be clothes: and there were clothes-
and man saw the clothes, that it was good
And Man divided the clothes from nakedness.

And Man called the clothes boxers,
And the nakedness he called nude-
And the boxers were the first clothes made
And Man said, let more clothes be,
And he gave to woman a bra-
And she was the only one able to undo it
And Man had no power over her bra.

And then came the second day,
And Man stepped into the water-
And his clothes became soaked
And man knew this was bad,
And he called the water a bath-
And give the bath to the woman-
Who bathe in it nude out of common sense
and spend hours and hours in her gift.

And then came the third day,
And Man found a coconut and kicked it-
And found it to be good
And called it football,
And the woman found mud on the ground-
And found it to be good
And called it make-up.

And on the fourth day,
Man found grapes he made to wine-
And drunk and found it to be good
Till morning after he found it to be bad,
And woman found it to be good-
And took to making comments on man’s stupidness
And laughed because she remained sober.

And on the fifth day,
Man stayed on the fig covered floor-
And found it to be good
And called the fig covered floor a bed,
And the woman never woke-
till late in the day
And man called this beauty sleep.

And on the sixth day,
Man had his way with the woman-
And found it to be good
And he called his way with the woman love,
And the woman looked at the man-
And wondered if she’d been drunk
And called it a big mistake.

And on the seven day,
The woman said she was pregnant-
And the man finally agreed with the woman
And called it a big mistake,
And 9 months later she had a son and daughter-
And found it to be good
And she named them Good and Bad.

LOL, this poem should be titled: "Man's Genius". Ha, I laughed the whole time. It's smart, funny, and above all... true. Great poem. Cheers   - Ed

Love your clever wit!  I agree with Joyce.  This should have notice, for all its truth and humor!

You are so creative!     LOL   I can't resist offering a sequel...


The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky

And the morning and the evening
were the next day
And the man said to the woman
I will love you eight days a week
And the woman saw that the man
coveted his football and wine
And that there was no more
time for her gifts
And that she was responsible for
all that was Good and Bad
And said, Let there be birth control
And she called it a headache
And the man was sorely vexed
And grieved at his misfortune
But the woman remembered how
the snake had beguiled her
from the cushion of fig leaves
deep in the garden
And left the man thanking his stars
And the third child was born
And that's how the man got Lucky
