Modified from the book Jewish Haiku by David Bader

Five thousand years
A wandering people ---
Then we found the cabanas

In the ice sculpture
Reflected bar mitzvah guests
Nosh on chopped liver

Shocking new finding
All this worrying
Really WILL give you cancer

Firefly steals into the night
Just like my former partner-
The gonif

Jewish triathlon
Gin rummy, then contract bridge
Followed by a nap

Looking for pink buds
To prune back
The mohel tends his flower garden

Look Muffy! I've found
The most splendid tschochke
For our Hanukkah bush

Scrabble brouhaha
After putzhead
Is placed on a triple-word score

BLT on toast
The rabbi takes his first bite
Then the lightening bolt

Jewish and dyslexic
I thought I was buying
A Chai Pet

Shatner and Nimoy
Observing Shabbos “Scotty
Beam up a minyan

The wily red fox
At temple, I spy its paws
Lurking on a stole

Hava nagila, hava nagila
Hava nagila, hava--
Enough already?

A lovely nose ring,
Excuse me
While I put my head in the oven

SJF seeking a soul mate
Must be
A professional

Tea ceremony,
Steam, incense, lacquered bowls
Try the danish

Odd new disorder
The Jew who mistook his wife
For a yarmulke

After the warm rain
The sweet smell of gardenias
Did you wipe your feet?

The spitting image of her father
Down the road
Rhinoplasty, yes?

After the youngest repeats the 4 questions
The 5th
“When do we eat, already?”

Jews on safari,
Map, compass, elephant gun,
Hard sucking candies

Wet moss on the old stone path
I lay flat on my back
Pondering whom to sue

Today I am a man
Tomorrow I return
To seventh grade

The sparrow brings home
Too many worms for her young
“Force yourself!” she chirps

Left the door open
For the prophet Elijah
Now our cat is gone

Yom Kippur--forgive me God
For the Mercedes
And all the lobsters

“Mom please!” There is no need
To put the dinner roll
In your pocketbook

Hard to tell under the lights
White yarmulke?
Or male pattern baldness?

Mantra of Jewish Buddhist Monk--
They never write
They never call

How can I atone
For scalping my tickets
For the High Holidays?

Heimlich. Is that a Jewish name?
I wonder
As a diner turns blue

“Through the Red Sea
Costs extra” the Israeli movers
Overcharge Moses
