An Interesting Cut of Meat

Pork's an interesting cut of meat
Which gentiles find tasty to eat--
   It's a no-no for Jews
   And for Muslims too-- 
It's the meat where these religions can meet

M. L. Kiser Date: 10/20/2018 1:45:00 PM My late Mother loved her pork but, in the end, it got her. I gave up meat when I turned 21. Haven't looked back. You're so right about both religions being able to find at least one place to meet; great beginnings must be established for the meeting though and there's nothing the world likes more than food. Good Limerick Gershon. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/20/2018 9:05:00 PM I'm sorry to hear about your mother. May you and your family know only happiness...And thank you for all of your support! :) gw

Mike Gentile Date: 10/20/2018 8:34:00 AM Yep, it's OK for Gentiles, I can vouch for that Gershon, this is in deed an interesting piece ) of meat) Happy Saturday!! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/20/2018 9:04:00 PM We have to continue meeting like this, Mike. Ha, ha. All the best, Getshon

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/19/2018 5:49:00 PM Very clever pun, Gershon. I didn't know Muslims couldn't eat pork. I'm with Dear Heart - grilled pork chops are great. You have a way with limericks! Hugs, Carolyn Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/20/2018 9:03:00 PM Thank you, Carolyn...And it's true. Muslims can't eat pork. They can't eat lobster, crab, or shrimp---same as Jews. Amazing how much there is in common between these two faiths, which have been at war with each other in the Middle East for a long, long time...Enjoy those pork chops! ~ Gershon

Heidi Sands Date: 10/19/2018 5:35:00 PM Interesting Gershon :) Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/20/2018 9:00:00 PM I like your comment, Heidi, especially without a comma! :) gw

Jan Allison Date: 10/19/2018 1:29:00 PM Religions united by the omission of pork in their diets , sure made me smile, you are not a ham poet GW :-) Got to say I do adore crispy bacon!:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/19/2018 2:51:00 PM Well, since taste is supposedly 90% smell, then I'm 90% sure that crispy bacon tastes great, as I just love the smell of it sizzling in the frying pan...Thanks for confirming that the other 10% is great as well! :) gw

Constance La France Date: 10/19/2018 9:19:00 AM Gershon, great limerick, strange that those two cultures can agree on anything, for me, nothing like a nice grilled pork chop ~ Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/19/2018 12:31:00 PM You are so right. It is strange, indeed, that there is any area of agreement... Thank you for weighing in, WW! ~ gw

Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/19/2018 7:48:00 AM I like the idea of all people finding a commonality. Well done my friend! Login to Reply

Tom Cunningham Date: 10/19/2018 4:09:00 AM My mouths watering thinking of a bacon buttie. How strange though that they have something in common. Tom Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/19/2018 12:33:00 PM A 'bacon buttie.' That's a new one for me. And yes, the commonality is strange, isn't it? Thank you for commenting, Tom. ~ gw
