Ordinance

The ordinance of aged reserve
Stays the process of observe
When passing me a cloudy sky
Dropping teardrops from their fly

I see the windmill grind to grime
The grain beneath the stones of time
And cannot help to sigh, a sigh
And feel the pain of death and die

Even mountains wear in change
No longer does it seem so strange
And in the night those stars of cyme
Explode and change in given time

I cannot help but wonder me
The things that change I cannot see
Horizons that are far beyond
Horizons that I can’t respond

Oh me oh my, I sigh for I
How far the distance that I lie

Heh.

Far be it for me to lecture you on Judaism, but I was told and have read elsewhere that Rabbi clergy have argued over the intention of the Jewish letter of the alphabet (Heh) for a couple of centuries.

It is said that "Heh" means the breath of God, and it is with that breath in which G-d's creation of man was animated.

The ensuing argument is whether or not G-d laughed--as in Heh-Heh, or sighed--Hehhhhhhhhhhh (oy).

I maintain it is entirely possible to do both at the same time.

It's a lovely day--now that I have read you.

I sigh in contentment.

Sy, biz hundret un tzvensik yor!

Oy, vey is mir   will never do with you!

Listen to Serenity - if she can be same'ach, same'ach - then we all should be right?

and a very good poem though.

(Not bad for an Irish goile from Winnipeg right?)  I hung around the North End.
