The Lord looked down and said
it is not good the man should be alone
never a Man to do things by halves
He created woman
I wonder
could even HE have known
that the opposite of loneliness
is chaos
that his creation,
man,
would be thrown
for all eternity
into the no-man's-land
between agony
and ecstasy
or did the serpent
dissenting, slithering
have his say
and pit
man's God-given free will
against God's rule
that he should love, honour
and obey
did he recommend
providing an instruction manual
with man's new toy
knowing
there was just no fucking way
that man would read it
and that there'd be hell to pay
I just want to say
thank you, Lord
for the gift you gave that day
warts and all
the game she makes us play
was worth The Fall
and when the reaper comes to pay
that fateful call
I won't complain
(coz that's her job!)

Contraversial is always daring.

hey john
definitely one of your tops. full of wit and wisdom. a sweet battle of the sexes that even a hardcore feminist couldn't help herself from smiling. religous zealots may have a problem with this but they have a problem with everything. great from start to finish.

Awww Shucks, Dave!
Cheers Professor. Glad I amused you but the 'wisdom' bit made me blush. You charmer!

for such a deep subject, one that needs open and original thought implicit and detached, this poem came across a bit dull.

This is a case-in-point. Lighten up a bit my serious young friend!
