Minute: Shavuot

by Rachelle David



The giving of gifts is kooky
At first, cranky
Never the desire
Often a bummer

Receiver of the gifts is challenged
At first, thrill
Never understands, though
That the stiff scrolls bear responsibility

The Repercussions can be catastrophic
At first, diligence
Never a return policy
The weight crashing down upon us

Years and years later, intelligence
At first, interest
Never complete deciphering
Constant doubt and review to try and appreciate the gift that was given.
