Hey Forward


She told anti-semetic jokes with great aplomb

Laughed heartily with glee

Her hatred and her prejudice

She thought not  aimed at me

I however, firmly differ and do not agree.
                         ***
For her humors warped and hateful

But on Sundays put to rest

She goes to church to proclaim love

Dressed in her Sunday best...

Confesses past unholy sins

And thinks they’re put to rest.

With both her faces powdered

She shows but one alone

Her pasted smile and hate filled heart

Would make a strong priest groan.

Yet still she claims religion

But her claim is truly baloney

She is no matter what one thinks

A veritable phoney!

She hates the Jews and laughs at them

Tells venomous jokes to listeners

I think that she should tell those jokes

To her priest and their parishioners...

The laugh indeed would be on her

For  it’s said that ignorance is bliss

She needs to learn more tolerance ...

And I feel compelled to tell you this :

If she should ever say hello

And finds I don’t reply,

Perhaps she’ll give some second thoughts

To banal ”Jewish” jokes she may deny.,

Yet if I deign to answer her

That shame would be my due -

For she ‘s not deserving of acknowledgment

From this very proud committed Jew.

So she can shake her red and curly hair,
She can laugh at her own sick jokes,
But it would be wise of her to realize 
She's the fodder of ... us unreceptive folks.
