A Cute Gentile Pig In New York

There's a cute gentile pig lives in New York Pleasingly plump, she's a fine piece of pork Shows a Rabbi her knuckles Rabbi's knees, they do buckle Says, 'I'd eat you, but I've just kosher forks' July 16, 2019 Entry: State Limerick Contest Sponsor: Kevin Shaw

Hi Gershon, just wanted to say thanks for inspiring my poem for '20 titles from 20 friends' contest (hope you don't mind!)

The cute pig and I are just fine with this, Michelle. We consider it a 'dis-stink' honor. LOL. Thanks a lot! :) gw

My Rabbi's already contacted me about where to find treife (non-kosher) forks and other such utensils, so he can (gulp) --- O, I can't bear to say it.... LOL. Thanks for viewing and for your hilarious comment, Tom! :) gw

You can post sensitive issues with class because you have a good heart. And not mean, bawdy or raunchy. You do not cheapen this art form. Thanks for being you. your brilliance shows in this one Thanks..best wishes Panagiota PR

Very glad (and relieved) to hear that you don't think that this is cheap. And you are so tuned in: This IS me being me, able to poke a little fun at that which is the very raison d'etre of my whole existence---and not demean it. Really appreciate your comment and your support, Panagiota. Warm wishes, Gershon

you made me howl with laughter especially as I wrote a poem about a rabbi eating pork in New York - I didn't post it thought some might find it offensive. Hugs Jan xx

Glad I didn't offend you with this one, Jan ---although my Rabbi has left 10 messages for me already... I think he wants to know if I have any treife (non-kosher) forks!! LOL. Thanks so much for the feedback, Jan! :) gw
