We are no different you and I
in God’s great master plan
You are the woman, beautiful
and I the lonely man
In His image He created
an Adam sans his Eve
It didn’t take Him long to learn
that Adam was not pleased
“Oh Lord, you’ve made me master
o’er all that I survey
Would it bother You too much if
I asked You for a raise?”
“You see the other creatures here
they all have mates to play.
Am I the only one, Oh Lord
you did not make that way?”
Well, God then reconsidered
the error of his ways
He put ol’ Adam fast to sleep
and sawed his ribs away
And when the Lord had finished
He saw that it was great
All creation should be happy
Our man now has a date
When Adam rose to feel the scars
he asked who was to blame
God simply pointed over there
and said that Eve’s her name
Well Adam was a bit surprised
he rubbed his sleepy head
“What is a man to do with this
and why’s that fig leaf red?”
He got his answer soon enough
when Eve had told him how
"God had made you just for me
and I’m the master now"
We are no different you and I
in God’s great master plan
You are the one responsible
for me the lesser man

An enjoyable read ...
with a wee bit of tongue-in-cheek humor written in good poetic form. joy

I should have known, Leo, that there was more to this than hinted at. You always have a surprise awaiting in just the next stanza. Very clever and very funny while remaining a very touching statement. Thanks for sharing.
-
OUCH!!!! That last sentence is a tough one to swallow for some of the fairer sex.
What a delightful piece you have penned as you sit in you skivvies with your overactive libido. Bless you, dear Leo, for your beautiful sense of humor that gives us all just a moment of time when our troubles just float away on a river of laughter. Love, Patricia

I don't think she was created WITH the fig leaf, but what the heck, poetic license here. I thought your humor and state of mind was very funny. Knowing women are in charge is half the battle.

'He got his answer soon enough
when Eve had told him how
"God had made you just for me
and I’m the master now"'
a real rib tickler! lol

I love this. From form to content - you play it safe!
I giggled my way
through this poem,
and thought,
how precious, Leo can be!
He says his say
in such happy way
that those who'll read
will enjoy their stay.
Perturbed I am
at your song, as
if my wife does read this write,
she'll say Leo is my man!
Leo, thank you. More of us should write such poems. The world and daily rush needs this revival!!

You, Leo, can rewrite history ...
and makes it HIS story ... But perhaps there should be a HER story too:
The wonderment of Paradise
becomes a story true and wise
when Eve accepts she is a rib
and soothes her children at the crib
and be a Queen fit for her King
and do her chores with smile and sing
and be less talkative, but cook
while writing poetry in Life's book
Be every woman such an Eve
then every Adam may achieve
what God intended him to be
and he may eat from Wisdom's tree

Such a wise woman was Eve. God sure knew what he was doing when he made her. As long as women let men think they are in control, all works well. It's just when woman takes over and man knows he's not, that the problems begin. Cute verses - liked the flow and the message shared in these lines.

Ol' Adam knew when he was licked....lol.
