This battle started long ago in a garden far away.
A man, a woman, job to do, but lots of time for play.
“Just tend the garden” the Big Boss said, “that’s all I really ask.
The world will be all yours should you prove equal to the task.

There’s just one rule you must obey; you must never pick
Forbidden fruit for if you do my vengeance will be quick.”
“Too easy” said the woman as she went about her day;
Forbidden fruit had never been to her taste anyway.

But the bloody man droned on and on as men are wont to do
“What’s so special ‘bout this fruit; why can’t we have that too?”
Till one day the woman cracked, she just could take no more.
She picked the fruit, approached the man, and threw it on the floor.

“Here’s your bloody fruit” she said “hope this will stop your whining.”
Then all at once the clouds rolled in (without their silver lining).
And the boss roared out in a voice so loud it seemed to threaten thunder
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, YOU BLOODY FOOLS; YOU’VE TORN YOUR WORLD ASUNDER.”

“Wasn’t me” the weak man croaked “was her, she did it Boss.”
“YOU BROKE THE ONLY RULE I MADE, YOU’LL BOTH LIVE WITH THE LOSS.”
So that’s the way it started and it’s always been the same
Whenever things go belly up the woman gets the blame.
