Totally un-PC but, so many of them are "*just* like my Mother" (and,
doubtless, my son will say "just like me" <g>), that I couldn't
resist...
From: R.P.
After the warm rain
the sweet smell of camellias.
Did you wipe your feet?
Her lips near my ear,
Aunt Sadie whispers the name
of her friend's disease.
Today I am a man.
Tomorrow I will return
to the seventh grade.
Testing the warm milk
on her wrist, she sighs softly.
But her son is forty.
The sparkling blue sea
reminds me to wait an hour
after my sandwich.
Lacking fins or tail
the gefilte fish swims with
great difficulty.
Like a bonsai tree,
your terrible posture
at my dinner table.
Beyond Valium,
the peace of knowing one's child
is an internist.
Jews on safari-
map, compass, elephant gun,
hard sucking candies.
The same kimono
the top geishas are wearing:
I got it at Loehmann's.
Seven-foot Jews in
the NBA slam-dunking!
My alarm clock rings.
Sorry I'm not home
to take your call. At the tone
please state your bad news.
Is one Nobel Prize
so much to ask from a child
after all I've done?
Today, mild shvitzing.
Tomorrow, so hot you'll plotz.
Five-day forecast: feh
(for Passover)
Left the door open
for the Prophet Elijah.
Now our cat is gone.
Yenta. Shmeer. Gevalt.
Shlemiel. Shlimazl. Meshuganah
Oy! To be fluent!
Quietly murmured
at Saturday services,
Yanks 5, Red Sox 3.
A lovely nose ring,
excuse me while I put my
head in the oven
