Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Matzo Might Not Kill Me, But --

  
                 Passover ends in two more days
                    to my shouts of Hip, Hip, Hooray

                 One more day of matzo might not kill me
                    but if this be freedom, give me bread ~ and slavery

Joseph P. DiMino April 9, 2026 at 3:57 PM I know, takes time to recuperate from holidays. Blessed time of year though. Keeps us humble.

Ilene Bauer April 8, 2026 at 1:27 PM you'll make it, gershon! my husband is feeling exactly as you are, but i'm okay drinking manischewitz instead of my usual i.p.a.'s for a bit longer...

Kim Rodrigues April 8, 2026 at 12:48 PM Happy Passover, dear One! Keith Green wrote a song, “So You Want to Go Back to Egypt,” too funny lyrics (I.e. manna waffles, manna burgers, manna bagels…)

Paula Goldsmith April 8, 2026 at 11:42 AM I enjoyed reading your fun/wonderful "Matzo Might Not Kill Me, But --" write. Guess your stomach will need a vacation. Maybe bread/water. Hahaha!!! Have a fun Day writing away.............
