Paradise

   
 

In the most delicious beginning
   
 
 

God created
   
 
 

salsa scrambled eggs
   
 
 

and bacon.
   
   
   
   
 

One evening He
   
 
 

was outside
   
 
 

horsing around with
   
 
 

the wild steakburgers
   
   
   
   
 

When Eve happened along.
   
 
 

"What'cha up to?"
   
 
 

she observed.
   
 
 

"Oh, making things,"
   
   
   
   
 

Suggested the Lord. A hundred million
   
 
 

lizards turned in a crystal bowl
   
 
 

where Beauty stood on hind legs,
   
 
 

mostly unfettered.
   
   
   
   
 

"What's that big bone sticking
   
 
 

out from your abdomen?"
   
 
 

Our Lord and Maker gazed down.
   
 
 

"That's my rib."
   
   
   
   
 

"And those! So cute, like
   
 
 

little cherry apples."
   
 
 

She knelt to
   
 
 

behold him.
   
   
   
   
 

His penis rose like a serpent
   
 
 

in a bed of tiny flowers.
   
 
 

Prayeth the Lord: Just don't
   
 
 

take a bite.
