A Bird in the Hand Adam and Eve had fell out with God, By scrumping from his tree. He’d chased them out in punishment, So now they both were free. They said farewell to all their friends, They waved the snake goodbye. Then newly clothed they wandered off, A different life to try. They came upon a shaded wood, A place they could call home. With running brooks, and fruit and nuts, Where they could freely roam. They lay for hours on mossy banks, With Adam pleasing Eve. So naturally it came to pass, That Eve would soon conceive. But Adam was a normal man, His woman getting fat! He looked around for other joys, He didn’t fancy that. But nowhere in his randy search, Could Adam pull a bird. They all had wings and flew away, To chase them was absurd. So Adam stopped his straying, And returned back home to find. That Eve was cuddling closely to, Another of his kind! Oh, blow me then, thought Adam, A threesome it must be. I only hope with her new love, She finds some time for me. But Adam was a father, Although he didn’t know. And he became a different man, He loved his baby so. Together as a family, The first there was on earth. Our couple bound together, By the miracle of birth. So take a lesson from this man, Before you start to stray. It doesn’t matter how she looks, Just that she’s there to stay. A child, a man, a parent, This is the way of life. You’ll be forever happy, If you’re faithful to your wife. Ivor Davies The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. |

lol you must have a good sense of humor i really liked this poem,a funny way of pointing out to stay faithful to your wife. I stopped on this stanza, and said huh? Other than that you did a excellent job But Adam was a father, Although he didn’t know. And he became a different man, He loved his baby so. |

This poem was, of course, a follow up to 'Snakes Legs' posted recently. trutodaraiders Glad you enjoyed most of it. I suppose it depends on the experiences you have had with wives whether this is 'tongue in cheek' or for real. Bea, Depends on the wife! Again thank you both for your comments, Have Fun, Ivor The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. |

Dyme, Seymour, Enchantress, trutodaraiders and of Course Grandma, Thank you all for looking in and responding to this, for those of you who do not know me yet you will find that I am seldom serious but often serious and please do not always take me at 'face value' though I do try to be good... honest. Hope you all also enjoyed the meal of 'Snakes Legs'......... Have Fun, Ivor The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. |
