Notes About The Poem

A Kibbutz is a rural village in Israel, one which used to be a pro-Soviet collective farm. In the 1970's and 1980's, kibbutzim dropped Soviet communism and changed over to private enterprise, adding manufacturing to their agricultural base.

Rescued From Capitalism

Mordechai Abercrombie Fofoofnik
Decided to become a kibbutznik --
  But old socialists were out
  Mordechai began to pout -- 
'Til they told him: 'Design a new Sputnik'
