Yud Tes Kislev





I was bit by a bee
It got me right in the knee

The pain reminded me to carry mace
To spray that bee right in the face

The honey I was hoping to get
Was substituted by “splenda” – oh yeah, you bet

The Talmud suggests[1]-
The art of rebuke is hard to find
Personally I don’t mind

It used to be that to get the honey
One had to be 40 or 120[2]

Our Rebbe’s found the secret tunnels-
To reach the honey, sifted through funnels[3]

Many Jewish leaders opposed the study of the Tanya
Better stick to the Talmud
Study it with horivanya

Today almost all agree
That we need Chassidus, YIPPEE![4]

With it we stay more focused on G-d
Instead of getting lost in our I-pod

These tunnels bypass the sting of the bees
Give me some more, please, please, please!

The sweetness of the honey
Gets you straight to the money

We serve G-d with joy
No more saying oy voy!

Once I touch the sticky stuff
It really does stick
It shows me how to connect to Hashem
No time for shtick

These secret tunnels of the world we must share[5]
Love G-d with all you heart
No reason to fear

Yet fear of Hashem is also a must
The bee’s make the honey
In Hashem we do trust
