Poem # 66 - It Won’t Kill You to Learn a Bissel of Yiddish Now and Then Series

Prayer and money, money, heart
Open up your heart
(shaped box)
That’s where you keep your money, right?
Be on the right side of the fight!

uh...

If I do a sad commercial too
How much will you give to me?
Is that a bupkes, bubbie dear?
Hit me up again - 

next year…
