Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Sometimes there's a need to lighten up in the midst of madness. This poem is like a Jewish 'Mash-Unit's' reaction to the rise of antisemitism currently enve-loping the world. And perhaps only an Orthodox Chassidic Jew like me can get away with it. Perhaps... 

The Lighter Side of Antisemitism

     For those who want to ‘kill all the Jews’
        Here’s some food for thought

     Get a rabbi to extend Passover one more week
        You’ll love what will have been wrought

     For another week of ‘matzo only’
        Jews’ stomachs will do somersaults

     And that way it won’t be antisemitism’s fault
        ~ that our bowel functions came to a halt
