an eighty word challenge
Leaving Eden
by Tom Horonzy
"Surprised?"
I cannot tell a lie.
Eve ate of the Tree of Knowledge confessing her mistake
She hoped I would join in to not end up alone.
I could have faked having a fig in my pocket; but didn't,
knowing she needed me to multiply thus I partook of that tree, too.
God, replied. "You are quite the guy, but surprise!
No more free meals and please give Eve your fig leaf,
before closing the gate on your way out."
