I was reading my big black Bible, (So you know this is simply fiction), But even a lowly Toerag Has a little religion. I read about mighty Samson, When his hair was oh so long, Then after a little trimming, His strength was all but gone. Then there was the sailor Noah, His ark and water and such, All of them smelly animals And it raining so very much. Then I read about Adam, His wife's name was only Eve, She came from one of Adam's ribs, Who wouldda ever believed? I was laying on my couch My side had a terrible ache, Not being a regular grouch, No complaining I would make The pain was simply awful, I thought I was losing my life, I thought for a passing moment, I may be having a wife! |

Cute! If that rib can ever be as funny as you are your wife will be famous a regular poet's star But if she's full of gloom and really mean to you I've heard those ribs can be a tasty barbeque!  |

Toe~ Cause me to 'split a rib' ! Here's one back at ya' ! -------------------------------------------------- When Adam stayed out very late for a few nights, Eve became upset. "You're running around with other women," she told her mate. "Eve, honey, you're being unreasonable," Adam responded. "You know you're the only woman on earth." The quarrel continued until Adam fell asleep, only to be awakened by a strange pain in the chest. It was his darling Eve poking him rather vigorously about the torso. "What do you think you're doing?" Adam demanded. "Counting your ribs," said Eve. -------------------------------------------------- Tee-Hee ! Love ya', Toe ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
