Short Shul Poems

Last night in shul
    I saw a young lady 
completely out of my age range
She could be my daughter 
   maybe even my granddaughter
        But nevertheless 
I couldn't keep my 
     eyes off her
Enslaved by her beauty and youth 
     I march to the tune 
which the celestial powers 
     have laid out for me 
Peace is hard to find!...

I have an issue of Playboy's beauties 
Astonishingly sexy looking
Help, I'm in love with a photograph 
I would like to meet her, greet her 
I'm in love with a photograph 
I picked up an issue for 10 bucks 
Help, I'm in love with a photograph 
The news today is not at all good
Help, I'm in love with a photograph 
I should go to shul, not be a fool!
HELP, I'M IN LOVE WITH A PHOTOGRAPH...

Prague

a living place
and tourists crowd,
the buildings' grace,
I say it loud,
it was preserved.
Kafka's and Golem's 
shadows rest,
at places, gardens 
at their best.
A baroque garden,
stylish green,
and artist's craft 
for all be seen.
Old Jewish Quarter,
synagogues,
the  Altneu Shul,
the tombstones
there,
and crossing Charles Bridge's
cobbled path,
I watched Moldavia's water pass.
A picture,
silently and rare....

Letting in light 
    from different 
sources
The New Age Shul 
     continues onward 
Dancing, singing , blessings
   You can dress comfortably there
  I got up and 
danced to the glory 
  of the one before all pretense is useless 
I have travelled to the Holy Land 
Saw the tribute 
to the murdered millions 
    That was a while back in time 
so we can try to forget 
  Hopefully humanity has 
      learned something from it 
Shalom, yes, Shalom...

Fall has come 
   and with it the march of the NY Giants 
Dangerous game!
    But the players do it 
for the glory (and the not inconsequential financial rewards)
I will watch the game Sunday 
   on TV
    I have good friends that 
don't like the game 
   But I get thrilled when 
the NY Giants win 
  My uncle met Tiki Barber(of the Giants)
I remember going to an 
   Orthodox shul 
I went to as a youth 
           Someone said "What's the score?" with a smile 
Autumn has arrived...
