Limerick: Once Miss Swiss wanted to make cake with cheese
Once Miss Swiss wanted to make cake with cheese
So she bought a cow, a dog and some geese.
The dog ate the gander
Geese laid no eggs for her,
So she locked the cow up in the deep freeze.
She called up her cousin in the French Alps
Through melodious yodeling yelps.
French cousine long in bed
Kept boiling her own blood,
So she blew the long mountain horn for help(s).
Her cousine germaine, a stout dairy maid
Answered her urgent melodic raid:
“Put the dog in manger,
Let cow sup in anger!”
Eh presto! Milk turned to holed-cheese sans aid!

Swiss
Poem |
He gave long sermons
and spoke to the
congregation
in measured tones
Gone now these many
years
His memory lives on
in the heart of the congregation
Some reviled him
but he persisted
with his writings, with his
teachings
A blessing for his memory
should be spoken
by those who have survived
Rabbi Harold Swiss
