ELIOT KATZ
Eve Gets Angry with God after Reading
Her High School Science Book
On the fifth
day
after the Big Bang,
God brought
forth
beasts of the Earth,
including dinosaurs
all shapes and
sizes.
On day six, God
created
Adam & Eve,
blessing
them: "be
fruitful
and
multiply."
Next day, God
smiled
at his
intelligent design
and rested.
Adam & Eve
learned quickly
to run for their
lives,
trying weary best
to avoid
pterodactyl's
swooping claws,
Tyrannosaurus
Rex's
heart-pounding
footsteps
& meat-shredding
molars, the long
sharp
tusk of
Triceratops.
Eve was the one
who expressed
their anger:
"Why
the Hell couldn't
he
give Evolution
a few million
more years
to kill off the
dinosaurs
before making us?
