Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus

Overheard at a Jewish wedding:

She's quite a catch
  Mazel tov! L'cha'im!
    Bottoms up!
      Down the hatch!

Hey, why so blue?
  He's a dream come true
    Mazel tov! L'cha'im!'
      Hope he's the right one for you...

Ilene Bauer February 12, 2019 at 2:36 PM ha! two sides to every coin, i guess! nicely done, gershon... Gershon Wolf February 12, 2019 at 7:44 PM Ha! Even two sides to a Jewish wedding coin! Actually I think there are at least 6: the bride and groom's and that of each of the parents'! :) gw

Caren Krutsinger February 12, 2019 at 5:58 AM I do believe it had better be the right one. That big day is not taken lightly I know that! Hope is all they have at that point. The true colors come out after the living together begins. Nice poem,Gershon. Gershon Wolf February 12, 2019 at 7:45 PM Everything you wrote is SO true, Caren... Are you a marriage counselor on the side?! … Another thing: Have you ever read 'Our Town,' by Thornton Wilder, really closely? If not, or if it's been a while, try it again, especially Act 2 (and Act 3). Thanks for the nice comment! :) gw
