In Paradise

When Eve had set her woman's heart
On nice, new sleeves,
I wonder if twas Adams part
To pick the leaves.
Was 1t his task to scratch his face
And bruise his feet.
While wrestling from its swinging
place
A gown complete?
And when old Adam tore his frocks
And to Eve came.
Did she get out her mending box
And patch the same?
Did she pick UP each garment wreck
And look 1t Ger,
So that he need not risk his neck
In getting more?
If these things did not chance to be
LIN sure twas nice,
And-man or woman-youfll agree
Twas paradise.
