Why start it on a Sunday of all days?  
Supreme, he could have started on a Friday  
and still be done on time with no delays,  
the Universe completed, nice and tidy.  
The Pentateuch would call it Yom Rishon,  
and start the count, though off by a few billion,  
list Satan among other hangers on,  
and unaware we could have been reptilian,  
put humans at the top of all Creation.  
How special must we be, it took a week,  
six working days to put us in our station,  
omnipotence and all? Now that's unique!  
Perfection thus achieved, He took a day,  
and damn the consequences, come what may.
