Truly,

human life begins

when a he is aroused

by the sight of a she;

a problem that

first vexed Eve

when Adam said,

That’s a nice apple

you have there;

and Eve replied,

Get your mind off –

you’re always trying

to start something!

Later,

after munching the apple,

she had second thoughts:

All right then

let’s give it a try.

Now, Adam hesitated:

I’m unsure; what if

I disappoint you?

Don’t worry, said Eve,

if you’re not able,

I won’t be raising cain.
