Perhaps of Bibi’s visit
Obama’s disregard
Noch ah mohl to knock the prez
Now that’s not very hard
Every week I can
Write about Obama
And fill my readers up with fear
And surely lots of drama
But that my friends
Is old news
And so depressing too
To warm the air
They brought me here
And not to sadden you!
I can speak of lotteries
And half a billion prize
But why should I
Just wave such news
Right before your eyes?
Of course the news
About the snow
Does not seem to cease
As weather really always is
A conversation piece
But boring is not gonna work
And old news won’t excite
So once again I pondered
“What will Bashevkin write?”
And then I realized
Innovation
Will come to my head
There’s always something
You can find
On pages of Yated!
And if you want
Controversy
Well into the night
Then I can sum up
All the news
That comes from Readers Write
Who ever thought a Jewish star
Does not belong in shul
And almond milk can be milchigs
Only if it’s cool
And whether camps
Should not end late
So bochurim can leave
After all, they run sometimes
‘Till Rosh Hashanah eve!
Shidduchim references you know
Are not so simply said
Learn about the things to say
From reading the Yated!
Of course, the dangers and lessons
Of carbon monoxide
And letting your car warm up
With you sitting inside
Nebach, the poor lady
My wife knows how she feels
When dancing someone smashed her hard
Wearing those high heels!
From donut darshans
To the law
Of picking while “no standing”
And something about languages
(I have no understanding)
And anecdotes
And silly jokes
And poems both sad and witty
And letters about Yiddish names
That vary by each city
Thank you all those readers
Who took the time to write
And helped Bashevkin make his way
Through the deadline tonight!
