A Day of Rest

It's late on Friday afternoon
The Sabbath Queen is coming soon
The sun has run her daily course
We've milked the cow and fed the horse
There's only one thing left to do
  ~ With candles lit, bid work adieu

Brenda Chiri Date: 9/14/2019 6:14:00 PM What a fun lively rhyme my friend! Lol I remember milking the cows ect! No I didn't live on a farm but close enough and my best friend did so we had many adventures!;) Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/14/2019 9:11:00 PM Milking the cow seems to be a theme in my family. My father wrote a hilarious poem (in Yiddish), the last line of which (translated) reads, 'Morning dawns. Milk the cow.' It was a complete non-sequitur as well, which increased my laughter. I guess I'm just a chip off the old block. Thanks, Brenda. Cheers, gw

Sandra Adams Date: 9/13/2019 6:26:00 PM i for one look forward to the days of rest, never saw this form but pretty cool... Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/14/2019 9:06:00 PM Thank you, Sandra. I think a 'Lay' is one of the easier forms, as it's octosyllabic, which doesn't tax my increasingly feeble brain overmuch. Best wishes, Gershon
