Dear Adam and Eve

dear adam and eve,
remember that apple you ate?
i have just one question:
was it worth it?
i don't mean to sound ungrateful,
you kind of being my ancestors and all,
and things could be a lot worse
though Lord knows they could be a lot better, too.
don't get me wrong,
it's not as though i haven't disobeyed God before.
i guess i have.
but jeez louise, it didn't have to be this way!
so what's the story?
was it worth it?
