Hey Acrobat,
It don't count 'till you catch.

Byplay at Haverat Shalom:

"Zamir needs men."
"So do I, but I don't advertise."

I lied about the coffee-pot;

Our Radbash comes back from vacation
kicks open the shomer-shack door
lifts the coffee-kettle
fits a new lock
climbs in his Bubble_Gum__Mobile
drives home
says his prayers
and goes to bed.


------------------------------------------------------------------
                      
Space out Mi_M_'aMaQ_IM :

Too  youwhodoittoit,
Why  runabitaboutit;
write plain.

To Mi_M'aMaQ_IM -- A Correction:

From the bottomless valleys of endless greed
it isn't poetry we need.

==============================================================

This minyan is so holy
that it can't have
within its Bet Knesset
a Zohar with practical vernacular
given by an Italian
of negotiable virtue,

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Palestinian cats
sit on my doorstoop
demanding to be fed
pitifully self-righteous.
When the door is open
the jump on my table
take what they can
and run out.

"Sour grapes," says Evil Fairy:

    "'G_d is in the details'"
               (Einstein, as quoted by Eliahu Gal-Or)

To celebrate the mystic wedding of an unemployed son
he plunks a junk-car by my front yard
hires Shalom & his Rubber Chicken
("ran through the soup so fast it didn't even get wet")
to cater a feast for hundreds
with one toilet
and no toilet paper
and tells the neighbors
if you're not our friends
please don't eat the food
especially children.
Next to the festive tables
sits an open trash-can
with three-week old garbage
that no-one has bothered to put out
for take-away.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The ultra-orthodox ride on their SuperBus.
Each fat get's so holy that
his hat has its own seat.

---------------------------------------------------------------

First day of Elul
At last the clouds
     Eliahu calls a taxi
     to take himself to the police station
     and turn himself in
     to be taken to Court
     in a Paddy-Wagon
     and maybe be taken to jail
     for an unpaid bill
     of a broken stairway.
