Never Trust Women Poem by gershon hepner

NEVER TRUST WOMEN


Never trust women, men’s ruinous ribs,
and when they speak truthfully you should beware;
no fig-leaves can cover their feminine fibs
if offered an apple they want you to share,
so when you are thinking of planting a garden,
and find someone feminine, fair, photogenic,
don’t fall for her, since you may not get a pardon
once you have discovered that she's not Edenic.

Inspired by two lines Zachary wrote to Abe Mezrich to celebrate the first portion of the Torah which is read tomorrow on Shabbat Breishit:

Trust not ye: woman, the gullible rib,
lest from home you are driven, and left with a fig.
