Haai en dankie, Elsie! Ek is bly dat ten minste een mens my vertaling waardeer.

To gild the lily, I've revised my English version:</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"><br>
<b>FOREVER EVE</b></span></p>

The snake, the jolliest of creatures,<br>
accosted Eve with scaly features,<br>
"Sssee that tree'zzz fruit? What sssay you, pray?<br>
The Tree of Life, or ssso they sssay."<br>
<br>
Asked she, "Why ask <i>me</i>? You tell <i>me</i>,<br>
You that hangs out beneath that tree!<br>
And why, with all the dust and grime,<br>
Slide on your belly all the time?"<br>
<br>
Said he, "My gift, and it izzz great,<br>
Izzz, when I'm done with thisss my fate,<br>
I may ssslip it off, and I'll be through,<br>
And, if you wishshsh, Eve, ssso may you."<br>
<br>
Said crassly Eve, "A pox on you!<br>
You foul the grass with serpents' poo!"<br>
Typic'ly Eve! It's always been<br>
Her way of keeping Eden
clean.</span></p>
