A friend sent me this and he said I am allowed to forward it. Enjoy. Jacob Here are the gramin that we sang at our purim suedah. Hope you like em. Ahud Barak is history, What we saw in him is a mystery, But if we are to pinpoint his 1 real failin' It's listening to advice from Yossi Beillin. The difference between us and the States is crystal clear. Sunshine here and blizzards there. We both elected new leaders of our nation But at least ours has got a high school education. Arafat didn't fool us all these past years We saw thru his fake smiles and crocodile tears We knew it all along, all you needed to do is ask, And it's fitting that on Purim we removed his mask. The Spice Girls popularity to us, was a “pelah,” Catchy tunes but no message, we've got to tell 'ya. This year their breakup put their fans on pins and needles, Though finally they have something in common with the Beatles. Rap seems to be the kids music of choice, Don't need no rhythm, lyrics or voice, Here's the secret to make hits, quicker and quicker, Make sure the words are sicker and sicker. Hi-tec companies seemed to be all the craze, Looking back now it seems to have been just a phase, With stock options, employees had no cares, But now they're stuck with worthless company shares. Napstar seemed to be the best thing since sliced bread, But the courts ruled against them, “no way” they said, The company's value has been plunging all along And now you can buy their stock for a song. Even more expensive than fine art in galleries Has been the rise in baseball salaries, Yes, you can say we are quite bitter, When millions go to a .220 hitter. Each day the level goes down and down, Which causes us to fret, worry and frown, No it's not the level of the Kinneret, or a possible draught, But the intolerance of our own brothers, we're talking about. Peres goes on and on, like the Energizer bunny, It it wasn't so sad, it would be kinda funny, Shimon Peres is like an energizing battery, Only, long ago his policies lost their clarity. Last year with the Pope's visit and the millennium, Tourists arrived in droves -- there sure were plenty of 'em, It seems that this year too we're on a record pace, For of tourists there's hardly even a trace. A 3 day Purim is awfully rare, For the folks in Jerusalem, it's almost not fair, 'cause this year they finally know how we feel, They have to hear the megillah before eating their meal. The govt's plan, for the highways to be safe, Was to pave a "kvish okaif" to a "kvish okaif" We're hoping that Sharon gets his act in gear, So we can celebrate a "freileche" Purim this year.
