A tempting offer? All will be revealed . . .

Eve was finding life a bit boring, Just roaming around ’neath the trees, And Adam didn’t make conversati­on — Just tended his garden and bees.

Eve told him one day: ‘Let’s go travelling, Escape from our lush paradise, We’ll explore the whole world, be away for a year.’ He agreed and thought up a device.

Knotted vines that hung down doing nothing, He decided would be just the thing, Eve and him holding tight, they could fly through the night, Be the first man and woman to ‘swing’.

So they packed up some pears and pineapples, Set off well before the light hours Travelled mile after mile, but it all looked the same — Tons of trees, loads of ponds and bright flowers.

Eve swung through the trees crying: ‘Catch me!’ But Adam just wanted to rest. Didn’t react, just lay on his back, While Eve tempted and flirted with zest.

The Devil, dressed up like a serpent, Said: ‘You must eat an apple a day.’

Eve took a big bite, then got quite a fright, Her clothes had just melted away.

She offered the apple to Adam, He took it, not wishing to be rude, Bit right to the core, saw poor Eve in the raw, And immediatel­y told her: ‘You’re nude!’

The Devil was laughing his horns off, Looked into the future and saw Naughty ladies revealing their charms, so appealing, Page three girls and Playgirls galore.

Adam reached out for a fig-leaf, Kept it on while he swung through the trees, He began to feel shame, and knew Eve was to blame, So he covered the part near his knees.

That night Eve discarded her fig-leaf,

Danced around in the nude, naturally. The rest we all know, they became all aglow, And that’s how we’re here — you and me.
