Notes About The Poem

The 25th Day of the Omer

Correspondends to

Sameach B'Chelko means of Learning Torah

Sameach B'Chelko

Sameach B'Chelko (??? ?????)
To Be Content with One's Lot,
Without, one Overreaches,
Sabotaging Can, with Cannot,
Learning as such is Egregious,
Succumbing to an Ego Plot,
Cleverly Whispering 'Genius!'

Only Torah is Satisfying & Enjoyable,
Differentiate: 2 Exclusive Concepts,
Both, Not at Once Employable,
Enjoyment eventually Decrepits,
In the Ordinarily Pursuable,
Only the Extraordinary Has Both Exist!

Gershon Wolf May 19, 2019 at 9:47 PM I think that the first stanza is very well conceived and executed. (Have to admit that I got lost in the second stanza. Mea culpa, I'm sure). Looking forward to Lag B'Omer; life is so bleak without music... Only a few days to go now... Best wishes, Gershon
