Adam And Eve Poem by Dee Daffodil

Adam And Eve

Rating: 4.8


My daughter...is a thinking child
I say that, not just as a proud Mom
But as someone
With great admiration and respect for her

Today, after a conversation about gifted people
She came to me and said...
'Mom...who were the first two people on earth? '
I replied 'Adam and Eve'
Then I qualified that with...
'..or so the story goes...'

So then she said to me
(I knew she was setting me up!)
'If they were the first two people on earth
How do we know their names? '
She explained her point of view
Quite nicely I thought...
As only she can do...by hamming it up!
'So...they were in the cave right?
Then Adam says...Eve.....Ugg...cave mess...
Clean it up! !
How did anyone know what their names really were? '

Good point!

I thought to myself...
Ok...so there's gifted....
And then there's gifted! !

ask her whether Adam had a belly button or not. That one drove a few religious scholars insane, I bet. I mean, we're 'made in God's image', right? So... does God have a belly button? -chuck

Dee, the simplicity of form adds necessary naivity, even if you didn't set out to do it that way. In that it is delightful. Whether or not there was a 'first' man and woman is a moot point - and you conclude leaving that conjecture unsullied. Rgds, Ivan

And will the last person to leave remember to turn out the lights?

Hi So often, the simplicity of truth comes from the mouth of a child. Their real names where Albert and Cynthia, but it didn't have the same ring to it Well Enjoyed Steve
