Notes About The Poem
My longtime friends, Rabbi David and Ingrid Cohen, were blessed with very special parents, Rev. Ahron and Molly Cohen, who were taken from this world recently. I used to sing them this little ditty at every Cohen family simcha (happy event), to the tune of the Oscar Mayer Wiener Whistle Song. They derived great pleasure from hearing the simple song, and I miss them, and singing it to them, more than I can tell you...
Cohen Family Simcha
O, I love to attend a Cohen family simcha**
That is where I really love to be-e-e!
For when you're at a Cohen family simcha,
You are always treated roy-al-ly!
**A simcha is Hebrew or Yiddish for a happy event, such as a wedding.
The ditty above is to be sung to the tune of
"The Oscar Mayer Wiener Whistle Song"
