What Else is There to Do

    
We must not drink or eat
   Absolutely nothing to drink or eat, I repeat

Forget sex, there’s no holding hands
   Even a peck on the cheek is banned

As for washing, bathing, or showering
   Maybe a maybe, if one's odor is overpowering

All of this, and Yom Kippur is called a holiday
   ~ Easy to see why the whole day in synagogue we pray!
