Who were Adam and Eve?

Late one night I wondered and wondered
To what group of today’s homo sapiens
Adam and Eve could have belonged.

They couldn’t have been Chinese
I reconciled
As someone before me had suggested.
For if they were
They would have eaten the Snake first
And then only the Apple.

They couldn’t have been atheists of reason
For if they were
They would have figured out then itself
Why the apples were falling to the ground
And why the Snake didn’t crawl to eat them.

They couldn’t have been
Jews, Christians or Muslims
For they were not there
Till there came along
Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad.

Wisdom finally dawned on me
That Adam and Eve must have been Hindus
For if they weren’t
Hindus wouldn’t still be worshipping
The Snake, the Ultimate God
And a host of other gods too
With offerings of milk, apples
And what have you.
