Call a man to focus on a teat, Rather than another man’s virile […]

Heathen Morality

The Fall
Adam was black as the night And Eve was white; Their children spread o’er all the earth. ‘Twas a terrible fright To the rest of the Kingdom: Animals big and small. Adam had the gall To ruin it all by sin, Turning the light to din. A universal pity it was, Setting the creatures abuzz, […]
