Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Attempt to Mollify

Adam was staying out nights late,

Playing poker and smoking pot.

Eve was becoming quite irate.

Playing around, was what she thought,

With other women who must be

Roaming around Eden somewhere.

Adam, seeing Eve upset, he

Pondered on how to clear the air.

"You're the only woman God's made,"

He said, awaiting Eve's reply.

"Maybe," as unconvinced she stayed.

Instead of telling any fibs,

Adam let Eve count all his ribs.
