Daily Reminder # 88

Basically, I've got nothing tonight, so....here's a quick thought and a poem.  

Tonight's thought:   Sin sometimes has its uses... and of course "sin" is also in the eye of the beholder.

Here's my poem:

The snake said, "Please, just have a taste."

"If you don't eat it will go to waste"

And Eve, only wanting to be polite

Consented to have just one small bite

And Adam too, thought it couldn't hurt

To try such a very light dessert

It wasn't even an apple pie

That causes such fury in Heaven high

And sent that poor unhappy pair

Away from Eden in dark despair

But though they suffered and so do we

For eating the fruit of the apple tree

I can't entirely regret their act

Since it alone, in point of fact

Introduce the two to carnal sin

Which causes babies to begin

And one baby leading to another

Eventually arrived my mother

Who, I am glad, gave birth to me

So, let's hear it for the apple tree

And before we at Eve too smuggly jeer

Remember without her we wouldn't be here.

Some things I'm grateful for today:

• apples
• sin
• Adam and Eve
• the ability to debate issues
• food
• cinnamon
• temptation
• cat toys & a happy Angel (and Tara Grace too)

May Your Day be Great

And May All Your Temptations Be Good for You!
