Adam's Response ( inspired by Ink Dragon's "Eve's Elegy")

I don't know what happened
I haven't got a clue
one minute we were in The Garden
the next we were in exile
right out of the blue

I was lying there beneath
that lordly spreading tree -
you know, the one whose pungent fruit
The Big Man told us not to ever touch -
when suddenly Eve was over me

she held out the tempting fruit
I told her no, He told us not a bite
but that secret knowing smile she has,
that soft persuasive supple voice
put my denial in full flight

So I took a little nibble
just a miniscule slice
of sweet tart juicey knowledge
I didn't think it would be enough
to drive away our innocence

But here we are outside
where Eden's just a dream
and ignorance is nothing but
a distant poignant memory
of what things should have been

Its really not so bad, although
life's hard with hungry mouths to feed
and sometimes I still rage at Him
but it could be so much worse:
just look at how He punished Eve!
