I
By Ink Dragon , 23 February, 2009
"Take a bite from this fruit
It´s delicious, so bittersweet

Come on, take a bite
It´s addictive, you´ll want more

Come on, take a bite
It´s delightful, you´ll feel blessed

Come on, just one bite, just once,
It´s unique - your one chance to taste it"

Thus spoke the snake, and I obliged

It tasted sweet
I wanted more
And took another bite

After my being expelled from the garden
A bitter taste lingered in my mouth
