Short Odder Poems

Odd and Odder

The fact that Jesus was a Jew
may seem odd to quite a few

  Then eight days after Christmas, how about this
  ~ January first, New Year's Day, was his bris *



_______________________________
*'bris mila,' which literally means 'cov-
enant of the foreskin,' is the Hebrew 
term for a Jewish ritual circumcision. 
It is performed on the eighth day of a 
baby boy's life. Jesus' bris, therefore, 
was on the 1st of January.
