Wind me up
Let me go
Here I come
I'm in the flow
Sunday, Monday
moving fast
Tuesday, Wednesday
Will it last?
Thursday, Friday
Now I'm gassed
Hurray for Shabbos*
The week has passed

*'Shabbos' means 'Sabbath'
in Yiddish
Balmore Eruv Verve!
Once there was a Rabbi Yonah,
Whose Shabbos Eruv made you wonder,
Does Yonah’s art belong in the Louvre?
Does our gratitude behoove yah?
This Detroit Tiger slams a Homah!
For Yonah is Balmore’s donor,
Mesiras Nefesh, never a groaner,
Keeping Jews in the groove,
It only goes to prove,
Huh? Giving generously makes one an owner!
Streaming into Shabbos,* the pace quickens
as if reading a novel where the plot thickens
Only an hour left,
so much to do and to shlepp**
How will it all get done
~ Let the adrenaline run ...
Down goes the sun
All tasks completed one by one

*'Shabbos' = the Jewish Sabbath, starting Friday evening
**'schlepp' = carry; haul
The Sabbath is a Joy and Light
to those who taste of its delight
Sanctify the bread and wine
Greet the Angels, candles shine
Momma's dishes ace the test
Poppa's dressed in Shabbos best
Children tell their Bible stories
Heaven beams in all her Glory
Three thousand years of Faith the wait
In God our Faith, not 'Chance' or 'Fate' ~
Now the Sabbath blesses all Israel
Our Promised Land, the Jewish State
~ Sabbath Peace, Everyone ~
