The first fool

Are we yet as foolish as Adam?
Would we but fall and eat any from the hand of woman?
How sly the serpent slithered down
the slopes of such a sacred scape of land.

Is it the want of the unknown that makes the heart grow fonder?
Perhaps that with which come as a cannot have has the hand hatch out.
But blunder we must and eat and spit to sow the leaves from fig tree yonder.
And fat we grow with wisdom told to us as we become wise and stout.

With millennia past and billions come and gone
We still seem to have circumvented the Genesis ingenious caution
Please do not go where you should not go
And only eat what He gives to you!
