Returning To Shul

After many years of enjoying roast beef and provolone sandwiches I now attend shul regularly on Friday nights Kind of a New Age synagogue It offers women and dancing and singing A Catholic friend of mine told me I was "following my bliss" Well, maybe he was right I like religion although I do enjoy a good sex magazine now and then C'mon poetic friends out there in the darkness let us pretend the terrible things we see in the papers would fly out the window

Yes, we are pretending all the time that horrible things do not even exist. Otherwise, how could we get through the day if we felt all these terrible things? I like this one, Matt. I love the mention of that roast beef and provolone too!!! (can't read more just now, I am only on here for a second)

I have heard the word but didn't know what it entailed. Thank you for this informative poem. I always enjoy your work Matthew.
