The Fun That Adam Missed.
That Adam was a lonely man
I'm ready to believe,
Although his many days were blest
With nature's fairest Eve;
By maiden aunts and cousins fair
The man was never kissed,
And thus I often think about
The fun that Adam missed.
It seems to me his life was like
An oft-repeated dream;
He never treated girls and paid
Three dollars for ice cream;
He never, when a little boy,
By grown-up girls was kissed;
And when he died he never knew
What fun that he had missed.
He never went security
And had the note to pay;
He never saw his bank's cashier
Steal gracefully away:
In all his life he never by
A mother-in-law was kissed;
But why- go on and 'numerate
The fun that Adam missed ?
Perhaps, if he were living now—
But then why speculate?—
He'd be too old and not inclined
To play with tickle fate.
For centuries the wanton winds
His unknown grave have blessed)
Perhaps he sleeps the better for
The fun that he has missed.
