From my mom, in honor of Passover (which began last night at sundown)

JEWISH HAIKU

Lacking fins or tail
The gefilte fish swims with
Great difficulty.
    *****
Beyond Valium,
Peace is knowing one's child
Is an internist.
   *****
After the warm rain
The sweet smell of camellias
Did you wipe your feet?
 *****
Today I am a man.
Tomorrow I will return
To the seventh grade.
 *****
The sparkling blue sea
Reminds me to wait an hour
After my sandwich.
 *****
Like a bonsai tree,
Is your terrible posture
At my dinner table.
   *****
Jews on safari --
Map, compass, elephant gun,
Hard sucking candies.
   *****
The same kimono
The top geishas are wearing:
I got it at Loehmann's.
 *****
The shivah visit:
So sorry about your loss.
Now back to my problems.
 *****
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
  *****
A lovely nose ring,
Excuse me while I put my
Head in the oven.

Those are lovely - particularly the Nobel Prize!
And you have 3 kids, surely ONE of them will come thru - after all you do for them!!

I miss ya, girl! This no-play-at-work is for the birds!
