watch out for these sexy sirens

A humor poem about gossip, infused with Jewish culture.
Did you hear the news? The yentas are coming! (Image on Canva)

Have you heard the news going ‘round the blocks?
the one about Irving serving some bad lox?
They say he bought it on sale,
that his dinner guests turned quite pale,
after eating salmon
straight from a can
(a meal far worse than un-kosher ham)

Did you hear about Sara — so sick with the flu
coughing and wheezing and turning deep blue?
Hygiene is her problem — they say, they say
(It is said she sleeps in a barn full of hay)
Whatever you do, don’t give her a hug
or you just might catch her fatal bug!

They say there’s a boy who is so shy
he cannot look anyone in the eye,
they say it’s a shame
’cause he’ll never get a dame,
they say, they say — wait a second —
that he is me!!!

The truth is I talk to whoever I like,
like my good friends Harry and Mike
Aw geez, I hate it when my tongue gets all tied,
by the pretty girl going off on a bike ride
