You checked your work
every day apparently and said
it was good, once even very good

although I’m not clear
about the essential difference, how
did you overlook the snake, his

presumption and arrogance, tendency
to spread disease and chaos, particularly 
given you seemed to be 

hell bent on creating order.
How was that all good, or were you
settling for passable, or good enough

for government work, which may I be 
bold enough to remind you, is an excuse 
you refuse to accept as valid. 

What genre were you writing in anyway? 
It appears you may have confused comedy 
with tragedy. I assume you must 

understand that the premise of absurdity
isn’t very helpful when rain comes in the wrong 
season and seeds rot in the earth.
