Night Time Divorce Benefits

(Haiku) empty spot on bed. . . with TV remote in hand she sprawls across it (Limerick) He used to steal every top sheet and the blankets that covered her feet. But now that he’s gone, all the covers stay on. Even sleeping, she now finds life sweet! (Couplet) Divorce might leave a gal lonely and poor. At least, she won’t be aroused by a snore. For P.D.'s Divorce Club Contest

In Jewish mysticism the Chamber of Guf Hebrew for "body" or "corpse", also called the Otzar (Hebrew for "treasury"), is the Hall of Souls, located in the Seventh Heaven. Every human soul is held to emanate from the Guf. The Talmud teaches that the Messiah will not come until the Guf is emptied of all its souls. The significance of the Guf is that each person is important and has a unique role which only they, with their unique soul, can fulfill.

In keeping with other Jewish legends that envision souls as bird-like, the Guf is sometimes described as a columbarium, or birdhouse. Folklore says sparrows can see the soul's descent and this explains their joyous chirping. Some say the sparrow brings the soul to the parents.

The little detail work here gets the top mark. The Intimacy becomes sardonic commentary. But then again, It's you we're talking about and your talent. Regards, Gerard
