Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Blowing My Cover

   
     Every year I pinch-hit on Christmas 
         for a Christian so devout
     That if he had to work on the holiday
         he’d just sit and pout                                    

     This year was no different from the rest
         except he made a slight change
      This Christian also became a full-fledged Jew 
         ~ So, I had to cover for him on Chanukah too
