Written by W.A. Adams (William Albert)

When every pool in Eden was a mirror

Which unto Eve her dainty charms proclaimed

She went undraped without a single fear, or

Thought that she had cause to be ashamed.

'Twas after she had eaten of the apple

Her eyes were opened and she understood

That she for evermore would have to grapple

With the much disputed question of the nude.

Since then she has devoted her attention

Her time and all her money to her clothes

And that was the beginning of convention

And modesty, as well, I do suppose.

But change has taken place in fashion recent

And girls conceal so little from the men.

I think it's time by all that's decent

That some one pass the apples round again.
