Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

To Save their Skins

  On the ash-heap of history strewn
    towers and pyramids ruined 
  Of civilizations long since extinct
    alive only in pottery and sphinx

  They once fought the Jews tooth and nail
    striving hard, but to no avail
  To eliminate Israel once and for all 
    each campaign’s end a precipitous fall … 

  Today again, ring out chants of ‘Death to the Jews’
    but the People of Israel steadfastly refuse 
  To lay down their swords to hatred, to simply cave in 
   ~ Instead, the Jews fight back to save their skins
