EVEN EVE 'N' ADAM, by                     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Till we fight again. Come on and kiss me, dear.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davis, Leland, Mrs.; Pawtuxie
Subject(s): Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


Even Eve 'n' Adam
Had 'em,
Those little quarrels that married people know.
Even Eve 'n' Adam
Had 'em,
The battles and the makings-up. And so --

Since even Eve 'n' Adam
Had 'em,
And yet came through and managed pretty well;
If even Eve 'n' Adam
Had 'em,
Those little between-heaven bits of hell;

Since even Eve 'n' Adam
Had 'em,
And yet were fairly happy, as we hear;
Our quarrel -- let us patch it;
Have a funeral for the hatchet,
Till we fight again. Come on and kiss me, dear.
