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.

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 |
