The Gardener Of Eden
Her post revoked, the portal locked
Her labor left to wilt or rot
It's a lesson that won't need repeating
Wield the carrot or the stick
But whatever flower or fruit she picked
You don't evict the gardener of Eden
A snake of garden variety
A trick to test her piety
A thoughtful gesture, but you needn't
Don't mean to tell you your business
But it never ought've come to this
Who dare dismiss the gardener of Eden
A gardener gets known by the land
It won't respond to any hand
Blossoms that bolt from the first meeting
The trellis sags in sorry shape
But the soil says it's not too late
To reinstate the gardener of Eden
Whatever help hired in her stead
A shadowed shape still tends your bed
You could say I've tried to stay keyed in
The tools my cupboards still contain
My garments that still bear the stain
I remain the gardener of Eden
Her labor left to wilt or rot
It's a lesson that won't need repeating
Wield the carrot or the stick
But whatever flower or fruit she picked
You don't evict the gardener of Eden
A snake of garden variety
A trick to test her piety
A thoughtful gesture, but you needn't
Don't mean to tell you your business
But it never ought've come to this
Who dare dismiss the gardener of Eden
A gardener gets known by the land
It won't respond to any hand
Blossoms that bolt from the first meeting
The trellis sags in sorry shape
But the soil says it's not too late
To reinstate the gardener of Eden
Whatever help hired in her stead
A shadowed shape still tends your bed
You could say I've tried to stay keyed in
The tools my cupboards still contain
My garments that still bear the stain
I remain the gardener of Eden
