I said steak not snake!

I said steak not snake!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

As the serpent watched 
With glee, tongue slurping ,of 
Eve about to pick the apple.
Adam looked on hungrily "Don't!"
"I like apples! But I'm not vegetarian."

"You're right!" said Eve.
"What's an apple without the pie!"
"Yeah! But an apple a day keeps
The doctor away" says Adam.
"If we had a doctor!" says Eve

"Well! What about we try....
The Steakhouse? " says Eve 
"We don't have one yet!" said Adam.
Then, an idea was born
As Adam grinned  "The snake!"

Hastily, the serpent killed
Snake kebabs were dealt.
Eve wasn't at fault
A lovely meal was had.

And the Apple?
Well! A codling moth strayed
Laying its eggs, bare
The grubs got to the truth
Nothing was spared.

Meanwhile,
Adam seeing Eve
Naked, excited said.
"Stand back!" 
I don't know how big
This is going to get! 
Eve looked on 
And smiled.
" The bigger the better!"
" You snake you!

LOL...your work always brings a chuckle.
You have such a unique perspective on things...and your pieces overflow with that wit and tongue-in-cheekiness that makes them such a fun read. Nice job, you snake you!
