Genre Shorties Prompt -- Week 135
In a comment on his post today, Con Chapman said he wanted to go into the business of providing writing prompts.
I "hired" him (pro bono, of course) to suggest a prompt for this week.
He said, "A priest, a rabbi and a lady snake charmer walk into a bar."
Now run with it, folks.
Your story may be serious or lighthearted or as silly as you like so long as it is 100 or fewer words.
THE GARDEN OF EDEN BAR AND GRILL

100 words
A rabbi, a priest and a lady snake charmer walk into the Garden of Eden Bar.
“Hello folks it’s been a while,” says the bartender whose name cannot be spoken aloud.
“Yes it has,” they say in unison.
“Glad to see you all. Drinks are on the house.
What will it be Rabbi Cohen?”
“Kosher wine, straight up.” he replies.
“For you, Father O'Brien?”
“Holy water, please, on the rocks.”
“And for you little lady?”
The serpent slithers out of the snake charmers basket, across the bar, looks the bartender in the eye and says, “She’ll have an apple martini.”

APPLE OF MY I
“Today’s forbidden fruit
Is tomorrow’s health food,”
She said, taking an enormous bite
From an organically grown apple.
She settled back against the bole of a tree
And stared off into space.
“What does that mean?” he inquired,
Raising his head up from the grass
And resting it on one fist.
“Oh, I don’t know, Adam.
It’s just that I want to see the world.
I want to know the meaning of life.
There has to be more to it than this.
Besides, the neighborhood has been
Going downhill for years.
Have you noticed those snakes
That have been hanging around here lately?”
