Shopping Modestly
Idea by Melanie Litton

The Apple

When every pool in Eden was a mirror,

And unto Eve her dainty charms proclaimed,

She went undraped without a fear and had no

need that she should be ashamed.

But after she had eaten of the apple,

She became inclined to be a prude,

And felt that ever more she'd have to grapple,

With the much debated problem of the nude.

Thereafter she devoted her attention -

Her time and all her money to her clothes,

T'was the beginning of convention

And modesty as well, so I suppose.

But a change has come about in fashion recent,

Now the girls conceal so little from the men.

And it seems that in the name of all that's decent

Someone ought to pass the apples 'round again.

The girls had so much fun - they asked tons of questions (always good) and answered each other!  One note though - being in a public place and with all the excitement, we managed to get through the activity without an opening or closing prayer - Afterwards, when everything settled down, my heart sank because of it.  I'm sure it would have gone even smoother had we not forgotten this crucial element.  I guess this is my way of reminding any of you who might be as absent-minded as me that our activities need to begin and end with prayer.
