From Friday evening through Monday night, the Sabbath and the Pentecost (Feast of Weeks) will be observed by faithful Jews the world over...
For three days, Pentecost weekend, no bells will ring
For seventy-two hours, no devices will ping
No TV's blaring, no family member daring
to tinker with electricity, neither adjusting nor repairing
No Facebook, No Linked-in, No Instagram
No Texts, No Snapchat -- No What's App, Ma'am
No driving, no riding, neither train, bus, or plane
No elevator, no escalator, no hot water down the drain
No oven, no stove, no light in the refrigerator
No strenuous activity, no wrestling green gators
For three days, I'll be with my family and friends
In synagogue and at home is where time I will spend
Three glorious days, free of distractions
with tried-and-true friends the attraction
Delving into the Holy Writ Moses penned
~ My eternal soul shall I labor to mend
