The First Date


Let us momentarily contemplate
The discourse on the very first date

Adam: Father You've been busy lo' these six days
          Would it be too much to ask for a help mate?

(From a rib Eve became my wife
Then ribbed me for the rest of my life)

Eve: Oh Adam ! Where shall we honeymoon?
Adam: I hear Eden this time of year is in bloom

(We had our first date in the Pleasance
She bone of my bone. We cleave as one flesh)

Adam: This rose (of Sharon) is for you my bride
Eve: Who's Sharon?!
Adam: Let's take these horses (I've named) for a ride
          Through the Sharon countryside
Eve: Oh Adam! Look at he stars and moon I adore
Adam: Breathtaking my love they've been since Day Four

          Oh my fairest with kisses better than spice
          Let us again be together on Day Eight and Nine

          Now let us return to our demesne
          As Father did intend
