Winds Over the Lower East Side
The LES is still there
Spanish people playing dominoes
Orthodox and Hasidic people
Walking around
The years have changed the place
There is a nice mural with drawings of the past
Jewish life there
The years have changed the place
Chinese people walking through
A Roman Catholic church or two
Guess I'll remain a Jew
But I do not keep kosher
so some call l me a goy
Yet Sabbath services sometimes fill me with joy
Winds over the LES
Pushcart Coffee
serves tasty brew
I'll listen to whatever music I want to
Your taste may be better than mine
I'll forgive you if you choose wine over the brine
LES is now my home
Some gave me a tome
Eros and the Jews
I'll read it soon......
