Basar b’Cholov: A Poem

Three times in the Torah it says not to boil a kid in its mother’s milk

The Yitzchok – he will laugh – seems like a mitzvah as well

The biggest and best laugh was when I snuck out with the donkey – the chumrah chamor – and neither I nor the donkey were noticed when we fled

THAT makes me laugh!
