FIRST THERE WAS THE neighbor
who didn't stop looking at my wife's breasts
then it was my mother
who decided I should do a Ph.D. in math
because she saw this poet
who was also a mathematician
she wants a son with a Ph.D.
she would trade me for the diploma
then my wife's nephew wanted me
to tape a cd for him while his wife started
speaking about religious people
and how she couldn't stand the fact that women
have no place in synagogues
so I just asked her if she would go
to the synagogue if there were more room
she said no then my sister told everybody
how she convinced one ultra orthodox woman
to stop having children after she had ten
and the doctors asked her to stop,
even the rabbi, and yes I forgot
my son also said that he hated me
"I hate this person!" his words
no wonder I went to sleep at ten o'clock
and woke up with angina at 2 A.M.
and what did I do? The shabbatt dishes
were there waiting for me.
Sunday came I went to the post office
and there was a check waiting for me,
I will make it to the next shabbatt,
there will be more food.
