"God's Experiment"

God sat watching over Heaven
From His royal throne on high.
He kept thinking, “Something’s missing,”
I’m not sure just what or why.”

“I’ve got tons and tons of angels,
Seraphim and Cherubim.
What else could I need around Me?
Heaven’s loaded to the brim!”

He called to a nearby Angel.
“Michael, give me some advice.
This perfection’s overwhelming!
We need more than Paradise.”

“I enjoy My blissful Kingdom
With its peace, which I embrace,
But, what else do I need to have
For excitement in this Place?”

“Master, you have made Perfection,
Perhaps something not so grand?
I have blueprints I could show You.
It’s called ‘earth’, this thing I’ve planned.”

God and Michael sat and pondered,
Talked about this thing called ‘earth’
God said, “Michael, I will do it!
Try it out, see what it’s worth.”

So, for six days, God did labor,
Making water, land and air.
Made the beasts and plants and mountains,
Made a planet, young and fair.

Then next came a man and woman,
In His likeness, they were made.
Placed them in His lovely garden
With His handiwork displayed.

Just like children, bathed in wonder,
God’s first woman and first man.
They were there but for a moment
When the ruckus all began.

“You’re in trouble ‘cause you ate it!”
“No, I’m not! You told me to!”
“Blame the snake, he’s just as guilty!
He said apples weren’t taboo!”

God said, “Hey, now! That’s more like it!
This is what I want to see!
Turn them loose and note the action.”
God sat back to watch with glee.

Out they went and still they bickered,
Days and weeks and months and more.
Eons passed, then God decided,
“Watching this is now a chore!”

Michael said, “Dear Lord, I’m sorry!”
God just sighed and shook His head.
“Next time, when I want distraction,
Bring some demons up, instead!”
