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... 

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
