To honor Noach I ate a rainbow cookie And thought of the flood. It cleaned up the world Drowning out violence, grief, Petty grievances. Today we still have These problems, and many more. There are men with knives Who stab us merely Because we are Jews, and they Are brain-washed, mad thugs. And ignorant crowds In Europe and elsewhere who Skipped history class Join rallies, critique Us for defending ourselves. It's a mad, mad world. Peace makers, speak up. Radicals, drop your weapons. Please allow our small Holy land some peace And calm. We'll share our cookies With the world, and sigh. Dear world, please heed the Parshat Noach with its flood, And bless the dove's flight.
