Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Little Birdie Whispered In My Ear

"Time to take the Soup off the stove,"
   a little birdie whispered in my ear:
'Tis the Sabbath Queen that's drawing near." 

But the Soup's not done, I dared to say
   in an unpoetic, defiant way 

The little birdie just looked at me
   with pity, but not with sympathy 

Shook his head and moved his beak:
   "Sabbath's come; the Soup is done.
      ~ So's all your work for this week!"
