Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

Polka-Dot Socks

My brother Fred thinks outside the box
  Wears red and green polka dot socks
He still collects overpriced pet rocks
   Eats bagel holes, no cream cheese or lox

Sister Sue sleeps with the horse in the barn
   Her iridescent make-up sets off alarms
She's got a pair of tatooed arms
   Among her other diverse charms

Me, I'm the white sheep of the bunch
   When I eat, I snap, crackle, crunch
'Course it depends on what I have for lunch
   On curried cockroach krispies, I like to munch

Ronald D Thompson January 15, 2020 at 5:14 PM Hey Gershon, love this privileged insight!! Another superb piece of work my friend. How you continue to churn out work of such a high standard is something I can only dream!! Best...Ron :) Gershon Wolf January 15, 2020 at 5:35 PM I want to take you up on your gracious comment, my friend: Theodore Herzl, who dreamed a madman's dream of a Jewish State in 1897 --- founded miraculously only 50 years later --- was quoted as saying: "If you will it, it is no dream!" Same with you and me!! Really! Blessings, Gershon
