Vayeishev Snapshot

A corridor passes from east to west,

Through Dothan and the valley below,

From Gilead to the coastal plain,

A way all the caravans go.

Vayishlach

Vayishlach Snapshot

Ya-kob had to cross the Ya-bok,

To get to the other side,

His name was obscured in the river,

But that never came to mind.

Vayeitze

Vayeitze Snapshot

Like mother, like son,

Rivka fills Eliezer’s trough,

Yaakov waters Rachel’s flock,

A well never merely a hole in the ground.

Toldos

Toldos Snapshot

I can’t imagine Yitzchak jesting,

With anyone, much less Rivka,

Perhaps it was a way of checking,

How long she should be his Sista’?

Rivka doesn’t call for father,

Runs instead to tell her mother,

Then they bargain with no other,

Than her shady older brother.

Vayeira

Vayeira Snapshot

They approached through a desert haze bubble,

Avraham should have known it meant trouble,

Though he mentioned with tact,

What he thought of the act,

The cities were still burned to rubble.

Lech Lecha Snapshot

Noach’s 500, when son Shem was born,

In the year fifteen hundred and fifty,

How the dor-os diminish until Avraham,

Who thinks that 100 is nifty!
