In the beginning, nobody will object
That I am the matter, issue, and subject

Good -- although I came up with Genesis, Genocide and Genessee. (If you're from New York State, you may remember Genessee Cream Ale, a terrible beer which may or may not still exist.)
Couldnt get it. A nice one. Easy, once I saw the answer. Want more such teasers!
It took me a few minutes to get it. I was trying to come up with three words for each part.
Very nice job. Didn't get it until I peeked, then it was very plain. I bet you really had to plan that one out to have such closely knit words. More please, maybe I won't get lazy next time.
Wonderful, but too difficult for me because I'm French...
I thought it was oxygen.
O being the original state
change the third - meaning O3, or ozone which is poisonous
and the last I thought it meant CO2 in the beer.
too much analysis - ugh.
I like your's better
