The Tree Of Knowledge

What knowledge to be had 
From the fruit of knowledge tree?

Just what kind of knowledge?
Well, if we eat it, we learn
About vitamins
Vitamins are what heal the body.

What knowledge to be had 
From the fruit of knowledge tree?
Just what kind of knowledge?
If we cut in two, we learn about 
Division!
If we put it under a telescope, we learn about
Pigmentation

What knowledge to be had 
From the blossoms of the knowledge
Tree?

Just what kind of knowledge?

It is excellent for pollution;
Honey heals 
The human body.
Bees heal the soul
So the perfect pink blossoms
With the scent of paradise.

What knowledge 
To be had from the knowledge tree?
Just what kind of knowledge?

Photosynthesis!
Humility!
Humanity!
Humidity!
And carbon dating!

 

What knowledge
To be had from the fruit 
Of knowledge tree?
That Adam made the right decision
To taste it.
Why blame poor Eve?
Dialectic reasoning!

Well we can't blame Adam because he's a poor weak minded man. So we blame Eve and tell her to hide her apple under a burka. I like your poem.
