One Language One Speech

Everyone wants to write a
midrash
Or so the saying goes
Everyone wants to think
A midrash
As they're walking down the
street
Waiting for the light at Beacon
and Marion
Everybody wants to live a
Midrash
To get the punchline and the
nuances
To understand the vocab and the
sentence structures.
Everybody wants to share a
Midrash with their old, not too
intimate friends.
It's the third word that turns the
key.
Did you hear the one about
Genesis eleven?
