God knew what was good.
He baked a fall-off-the-bone rib
from Adam, baked it slow,
so slow, Adam could sleep through
the entire Super Bowl game.
During the halftime show,
God made Eve from that rib.
Eve knew what was good.
She went on a shopping spree
during the second half, and
waltzed through the front door
in a little black dress, carrying
a full rack of ribs. She liked
a man who was full of himself.
