A Tip On Circumcision For a Movie–ing Experience

Torah!  Torah!  Torah!
Check it out
Ten Commandments of
six hundred (more or less)
for the good deed that goes unpunished
and only the good die Jung? I guess,
it’s a 		hit 
or mitz -vah
whether moyel shall take a bit, more or less;

well, he should have it well in hand
if you think neutral thoughts 
during the bloody process
(which may be hard to do–
ahh, there’s the rub
in this Shake-a-spear
tragedy of Love’s laborer, Lost
on this Twelfth Night of your thirteenth year,
you grinning ear to ear,
you contemplate Romeo’s
“It’s soft, what knife through yonder 
foreskin breaks. . .” or some such soliloquy
in this tiny Hamlet by some shore.

Lo!  The deed is done
(and not much fun)
manhood swaying with a gentle bris
and all the helpful hints
Gone With the Wind amidst 
your screams: It Hertz 
and Dr.  Edward Scissorhands, responded,
“Frankly, Scar-less, I don’t give a damn.”
