They left the garden ashamed
of finding themselves naked
and knowledgeable of good and evil
but now, who would have time for that?
They thought of all they'd have to invent
to achieve garden status:
Sun lamps and sprinkler systems
for nature no longer controlled.
Vaccines and antibiotic--
then fertility pills and abortions
just to keep things balanced.
They began to think that walking by
and naming things was better
than all these steps of re-invention.
But who would care for the garden
now that they were gone?
He would be no good at maintenance contracts
with all His creating.
He must have read their inner most thoughts
For his parting words gave them no comfort
"And don't forget to set back your clocks
Your best ideas come in early morning hours"
