Adam’s mummy – version 2
by Raj Arumugam
And Adam
said to God:
Daddy! Daddy!
What now?
sighed God,
quite irritated.
Daddy, daddy -
where's mummy?
asked Adam.
God thought
for a while
and He said:
O, I got rid of her.
But why, Daddy?
asked Adam
Oh, she was
too much of an inconvenience,
came the quick reply.
And as quickly
Adam said:
That mound, Daddy -
that mound
in the middle of the garden,
I've always suspected -
is that Mum, Daddy?
