\"Eve<\/a>
Eve and the Serpent<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Its not my fault that from Eden Adam and Eve got expelled
\nFor the apple supposedly from the Forbidden Tree there eating
\nI got cursed in consequence and so fared worst
\nTheir lusts their morals defeating.<\/p>\n

It was not the words of the snake in the tree branches that excited her
\nBut the sight of the one between the tree trunks of his legs that hung
\nI did not hell her what it was for, though she asked me and wondered
\nI could not speak: I am a snake, I have no tongue.<\/p>\n

Im sure God in his time would have given his permission to explore
\nCould they the patience to wait in themselves found:
\nNo, it was not the apple in the tree that caused them to be expelled
\nBut rather. the pear (pair???) on the ground!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
