I’m sure in olden Biblical days
Alvin Solomon, age 96
Helena, Arkansas

I’m sure in olden Biblical days
Were con men who had their ways
The guy who came up with Yom Kippur
Was smarter than he who invented the zipper.

No doubt he was the incorrigible sinner
And so he comes up with this winner
All year long, he could live in sin
Repent one day and start over again.

To me – it seems quite silly
Repent one day – I’m pure as a lily
So I just do the best I can
And try to love my fellow man.

With all of Life’s push and shove
There’s more than one way to above
So I’ll do my best in every way
And take my chance on judgment day.
