Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Forgotten Before I'M Gone

I don't want to wait 'til I die for people to praise me
    Tell me now, Stepmom, how easy it was to raise me

  And please, dear brother, do not hold back
    Let your friends know all the great jokes I cracked

  Lastly, my dear Home Economics students, wherever you are,
    Assure connoisseurs that I make a mean salad bar

Michael Tor September 12, 2022 at 4:17 AM Love to try your salad bar Gershon. I am sure it is something to look forward to my friend. Your students I hope read your fine Poetry or maybe they do not know. Its a shame not to know I am sure you would have a greater following here.
