Biblical Limericks: Genesis 2: 18 – 23


The first man, Adam, lived all alone
with no one he could count as his own.
The animals could mate
in their natural state,
but for the first man there was none.

So Yahweh became the first surgeon
to make for the man one of his own.
With a wound in his side
Adam said with great pride,
“This one, at last, is flesh for my bone.”


Ohhhh get over it.  Limericks are supposed to be rude.
Besides.  That's nothing compared to R. Eleazar said about Adam in the garden before Eve:

"R. Eleazar further stated: What is meant by the Scriptural text, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh?  This teaches that Adam had intercourse with every beast and animal but found no satisfaction until he cohabited with Eve." (From the Babylonian Talmud -Yebamoth 63a)
