[HANASHIR:16848] A Jewish Valentine's Day Song!

[Rabbi Joseph R. Black <Rabbi...>]

Chevre,
I have written a Jewish Valentine's Day song.  It's on my latest CD,
"Sabbatical".  

Enjoy!

Valentine's Day is Not a Jewish Holiday (That's Why I Didn't Buy You
Flowers.)

Valentine's Day is not a Jewish holiday -               
That's why I didn't buy you flowers.
I was thinking just of you
I know you're proud to be a Jew
It's a most confusing twenty-four hours.        
        
No I can't be what I ain't                      
And a day named for a saint                     
Doesn't seem to be a kosher celebration         
Oh but when Purim comes we'll nosh on           "
Special heart-shaped hamentashen
And drink Mogen David wine for our libation.    
        
It's a Hallmark holiday, that is all that I can say
I don't know why you think it's so essential.
Besides at eighty bucks a pop
A dozen roses ain't so hot
What's the point of getting oh so sentimental?

No I didn't buy Godiva's
Cause the increase in your dress sizes
>From eating chocolate makes you weep and makes 
you wail.......

So open up the bedroom door -
Don't make me sleep here on the floor           
I'll buy perfume for you next week when it's on sale......

------
Happy Valentines Day!
