Moses and the Promised Land

MOSES AND THE PROMISED LAND


After wandering the desert for forty years
(Without a word of a lie)
Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land.
Tell you why? 


Israeli security is the world’s best.
Just you try rolling up to the Israeli border
In a blanket-robe, with a long beard dressed,
A story about crossing the Red Sea in short order,


And absolutely no  I.D., no passport, driver’s, say.
Can I come in please?  Forget it  -  on your way!
