The Wailing Wall

People today are fat, not swift, So The Western Wall needs a lift* But here's the rub An ancient tub Saves each tear as temple gift *(lift="elevator")

An holy place is where you meet people with narrow minds, so you will never see me there! Thousands of years of bloodshed make Jerusalem not an "holy" city, but an holey one!

I have been to that Wailing wall in our trip to the Holy land ! People literally bang their heads there and shed tears ! So a lift and tub are not out of place.... :)

Ah, but the construction crew are taking a bath whilst archaeologists wonder why such a posh bath abuts the temple, and what they should do about it! Good thing you were there first! Aloha!
