Eve and God

Jobe rose up and tore his clothes

Shaved his head and crossed his eyes

Satan smiled and grinned again

Blew his nose and said good-bye.

God calls upon heaven’s court

Bolt of lightning split dark sky

Around the floating board room

Michael rose and gave a cry.

No one moved except the Snake

Wrapped around Eve’s naked breast

Apple fell upon the floor

Wind blew hard from the west.

God stood up and winked at Eve

She walked out the open door

Satan followed close behind

Thunder rolled from shore to shore.

Jobe saw Eve across the clouds

Satan moved fast from behind

Jealous Adam came in third

Pretty Eve, a precious find.

God gave watch to all in line

Men gave in to their desire

Giants born upon the earth

Enticed by Eve’s passion fire.

Prayed the Lord her soul to keep

She lay sleeping in the night

Dreaming of her mighty men

In their dreams they hold her tight.

God reached out and Jobe came back

Satan’s fiery passion died

Adam had to look for work

God loved Eve. She was his pride.

*Jobe is of course a reference to the biblical Job.
