When Adam Stretched His Foreskin
© All rights reserved by Issachar Tal van Kekem


Adam was disappointed with his first wife
She had caused him deep anguish with her continuous strife

Adam was overwhelmed by his status, as God had given
And frightened by his future, as God had planned
He was Embarrassed to see how God was power-driven
And confused by his distance from the Promised Land

And then his second wife, supposedly better fitting, better becoming
Hearkened to the sly, slithering Serpent, her desires strumming
To make her disobey
And to push her to lead Adam astray

And so, Adam revolted
As the template for mankind, he had been created civilized
That is: circumcised
“From the tree in the middle of the garden, do not eat
For to death descend her feet!”
Adam DID indeed eat from the forbidden tree
And he decided he would no longer be
Civilized, circumcised, destined, but FREE!

He pulled and stretched the skin of his penis
To make it resemble those to the animals around
And then he hid, and did not make a sound
When God strolled into the garden
He noticed Adam was amiss, and, of course, He understood
He banished Adam and his Eve
And the Serpent, his legs would lose, he would!
