The Oh So Prolific One: Leon Freilich, Verse Responder

Task-Task, Tsk Tsk

Multitasking began

With the original man:

Adam gathered fruit

That he knew would suit

Eve, his Eden bride

Always at his side.

Simultaneously

He prayed–so earnestly

To his maker-God

(Which He above thought odd)

That when they came to some bridge

Eve took jealous umbrage,

And signaled the snake who’d made

Overtures in the shade

Promising a life

Superior to that of a wife

And let her jealousy

Squash all loyalty.

Then as everyone knows,

Taste-of-the-apple and close.

Bye bye Edenic basking–

Thanks to multitasking

The meaning behind all this

Hip-hop in Genesis?

To keep your significant other

Unitask, earth brother.
