735. Setting the precedent

Said Eve in the Garden of Eden:
"I know, dear, there's something you're needin'.
But I won't come across
Just because you're the boss,
If you want some it's going to take pleadin'."

  1. How true, Mr. Limericist. Your verse reminds me of a classic from the Gershon Legman-compiled "The Limerick" (1969 edition), #126 on page 27:

    In the Garden of Eden lay Adam,
    Complacently stroking his madam.
    . And loud was his mirth
    . For on all of the Earth
    There were only two balls--and he had 'em.
