A Second Chance For the World

~ Limerick-Style Rhyme ~ If we boycott every country that discriminates against Jews We couldn't go anywhere; not one single country could we choose So before boycotts we start Why not be smart Let's give the world a second chance ~ Take a honeymoon cruise ~ Gershon Shmuel Itzkovitz ~ My real name And yes, this poem's personal

Great read Gershon. As you told ilene you can’t legislate love. I’ve watched them try now for 60 years and we’re not getting any closer. John

Yup. We sure do agree about trying to 'legislate love' alright. Thanks, John! :) gw

Perhaps when we truly start to love our fellow Jew, people might change their outlooks...Nah! Can't legislate love. ;) gw

Like everyone else, Jews need to focus on sex, not sects! Aloha! Rico

They require a new name as they have mistaken "progressive" for "regressive". Perhaps they just need you to show them how its done? Aloha! Rico

So far, the ultra-religious Jews are focused in on sex. They average 7 kids per family, per the latest Pew Census Survey. As for the Progressive Jews, they must be pulling out at the last minute --- not even 1.0 kids per family... OH, well.

That's right, Anne-Lise. Best to leave the judging to the Ultimate Judge. :) gw

I am ready to give everyone a second chance! Even the Irish, which I am part of. My mother being a McCormick and all.

Ha, ha, ha, ha! I guess your family deserves another chance, alright --- even if there are McCormicks in there.

Sad but your words are so true Gershon, every country should hang their heads in shame. Tom

Thanks for the support on this one, Tom. You're right -- but there's not a snowball's chance in hell of it happening. :) gw
