In the beginning

God made us, man and woman,

Stupid and naked

๐ŸŽ

Snake did not lie first

No one ever talks about

Eveโ€™s first headache

๐ŸŽ

The apple taught us

That nakedness is shameful

Why make us that way?

๐ŸŽ

One parenting tip

If you want to keep nice things

Put them out of reach

๐ŸŽ

Painful childbirth

Just for eating an apple

Feels like overkill

๐ŸŽ

Before the first wheel

Adam was first to throw his wife

Right under the bus

๐ŸŽ

One of Godโ€™s first jokes

Why wasnโ€™t Cain a farmer?

He wasnโ€™t Abel

๐ŸŽ

Be as the Lord God

If at first you donโ€™t succeed

Wash away your sins

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”-

Authorโ€™s (unnecessary therapy) note: Thanks to my upbringing, I may have issues with a certain religion. If your faith brings you peace, and through you peace to others, then namaste.
