Jelly Bean Genesis

At the dawn of time there was nothing.
No light, no colour, no sound.
Then the Jelly Bean God, with a clap of his hands
Spread sugar-filled joy all around.

On day one he invented the light bulb
To separate day from the night.
God said to the air, in a bellowing voice,
"Oh let there be halogen light!"

On day two he created the flavours.
Just traditional ones at the start.
But as he made more, he looked down at his beans
And could no longer tell them apart.

So on day three God made the colours
And coloured in each Jelly Bean.
Then when he had used every crayon he had
He admired his candy cuisine.

On the forth day God ate too much sugar,
And created the sea and the land.
He made people and plants, and the animals too
And his cosmos began to expand.

The fifth day became rather hectic,
When God made the bean factories.
He made workers and staff but they only complained;
"Oh why can't beans just grow on trees?"

On the sixth day poor God had a headache.
His workers said they should get paid.
So he paid them in beans and sat back in his chair
And examined the world he had made.

On day seven God couldn't be bothered.
He took a few pills for his head.
He exclaimed to his staff, "Listen up, one and all!
Don't disturb me, I'm going to bed!"
