Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Walking the Straight-And-Narrow

5.0 grade-point on a 4.0 scale
    Climbed Mt. Everest, the 'icy trail'
  His summer job was 'Director of Sales'
    This straight male applied early to Yale

  Puerto Rican knockout with Eskimo mother
    Non-binary female and transgender lover
  Active in flash mobs, landed three months in jail
    Now back on the streets, thanks to 'No Cash Bail'

  Our 'Yalie' got rejected, 'Why' is the question  
    Since our flash-mobber got into Harvard
  An accomplished bank-robber, else she'd have starved
    While our erstwhile 'Yalie' cleaned rooms at the Westin

  All's well that ends well, my folks always say
    'Yalie's' gender-confused now ~ I think that I shall pray

Kim Rodrigues April 19, 2023 at 5:17 AM The tipping point at the top of Everest…Everest is ruthless and will kill the best. The flash-mobber—bank-robber can yield dividends in the lowest valley. Still, there is one that is far above Everest who will even the score. The earth’s plans last but a moment but God’s mercy and grace lasts forever. Be blessed, Gershon!
