Adam said little. Eve a lot But it was Sam the snake who won the pot. 'Oi, Eve, ' he cried: 'A treat for thee', Pointing his tail at the Apple tree. 'Oh, no, ' called Eve, that is forbidden. All of knowledge there is hidden. God insists we must not swallow Those gorgeous apples, sparkling yellow! ' 'No doubt it's good to stay so chaste, But aren't you curious about the taste? ' She was and soon she took a bite And Adam yielded without a fight, Munching into misery. It hit them hard When God brought out his two red cards. 'Get thee hence beyond these borders.' You've disobeyed my solemn orders! ' And just for you, the temptress Eve, I've something nasty up my sleeve! ' I guess if girls had told the tale, The guilty party would be male.
