Fine Jewish haiku!
There's twenty-one of them. No doubt,
He wrote them wholesale.

Rick, I couldn't find an email address at your site, to let you know that I appreciated the link, and reciprocated, including two of your Jewish Haiku.
If you are not the source, please let me know, so that I can them proper attribution.

David, glad to link to you. The source is someone called Anon Ymous (obviously related to Abby Normal of "Young Frankenstein" fame). Just one of those things that get sent around that I thought was worth sharing.

Rick, I just went to Amazon.com and searched inside the book Haikus for Jews : For You, a Little Wisdom, by DAVID M. BADER (Harmony, 1999). As I suspected, the haiku are all from that book. I'm going to give Mr. Bader a plug and a link, since his effort deserves attribution. [Get it at Amazon for $9.56; new in their marketplace for $2.61!]

Thanks David, I received them in an email and posted them without further research. A blog can be a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. I will also add an update and give credit where credit is due. Much appreciated.
And thanks to George for allowing us to have a conversation in his house.

You're both welcome in the house. Now, will you please stop tracking haiku all over my nice clean floor?
