Rabbi’s Delight
Come up to my crib, ya’ll
And don’t forget yo’ bib, ya’ll
‘Cuz we gon’ eat some bay-galls
And crumbs gon’ straight be sprayed all
Over yo’ baby da-ddy
And in yo’ momma’s Ca-ddy
Yo’ gramps be gettin’ mad, G
Cuz’ crumbs stick to his plaid, see?
Now when I eat my bagel I be eatin’ da’ whole thing, yo So don’t be try’n ta’ jack me Esse just cuz’ I’m a gringo The shorties like the sweet ones and the old folks like the wheats But any kinds-a bagels are the kinds I’s likes ta’ eats
Some suckas like a sticky bun (bun) And toast-eatas can eat my gun (gun) You think yo’ gold chain weighs a ton (ton?) My bagel’s all blinged out with uhn (yun!)
My baby’s got Gucci, but my bagel’s got onions, My baby’s got chronic, but my bagel’s got onions, My baby’s got babies, but my bagel’s got onions, My baby’s got herpes.

Something in Your Voice
You said “The weather’s changing”
but something in your voice
told me that’s not all you had to tell
And so on the potential
sad and tragic meanings
of that comment I began to dwell
Some sickness in your body depression in your mind surely were the things you could not say I felt my spine a-shiver and swallowed hard with dread about your soon upcoming dying day
Though loathe to face this future I looked into your eyes thinking you would need to be consoled But saw that onion bagels had filled your cheeks and throat and realized that you’d only meant “It’s cold”

Conversation Cut Short
I can’t believe what you did to your derm,
Covered with onion bagel tatts so perm!
Cupping your hand to my ear you now murm, (Those marks aren’t tatts; they’re a case of ringworm.)

your test results are in
the hospital facilities
are all state of the art,
with sections for diseases
of the lungs, skin, brain and heart
yet doctors aren’t the only ones who meet such strict criteria, the bar’s set just as high down at the campus cafeteria
the freshest fruits and veggies are brought in every day, and pastas, meats and cheeses form a dazzling buffet
but probably the choicest part would be the bagel station, with every flavor known to man of ringéd dough temptation
plain, egg, garlic, sesame, blueberry, everything and countless others kneel before the mighty onion king
if you don’t want to taste all that or at least give just one lick, then turn around and see a nurse ’cause you are truly sick
