One Micro, Two Poems

Soap A man and a woman were starring in a soap opera. Their characters were called Adam and Eve, and their courtship was huge for the ratings. As popularity grew, the actors were together all the time. They fell in love and had a son. His name isn’t important, but he was always on set, so the writers wrote him into the soap as Adam and Eve’s son and they named him Cain.
