It was exactly as we had been told at Sunday school
flames of burning hot coal licking lust on flesh
and all the one having used their leek and two veggies
outside God Blessing were suddenly part of this
big redemption recipe.
It started with Adam chewing on the wrong ones,
the two rotten apples Eve had cleverly exposed
it is a well known fact that the mischievous woman
got rid of her foliage, so since biblical age all the Adams
do struggle in keeping their parsnip and broccolis under control.
Since that time the brown spots under females’ attire
scream loudly “look at us we may be rotten but
If you would taste only once you would know
the superiority of sweet decay over plain pulp”,
apple juice and cider truly cannot compare.
So poor Adams they are not to blame
having lost the battle of the rotten apples long ago,
still I wonder if flesh being licked by hot flames
is the right punishment, may be as a warning
spending some time in the family fridge
would cool down their veggies guarding them
younger for longer.
In medieval time refrigerators had a different name
they were simply called purgatory.

Wow, fire and brimstone here - The ending it totally a hoot! I will never be able to look at Adam in the Garden again without envisioning his parsnip on a bed of broccoli.
great take on the veggie bin from Hell. I suppose they had to compost in Eden, too, even when it was all "perfect".

Clever
Very nicely done. Undertones of satire detected and appreciated. Also irony.
