PASTRAMI

Pastrami

By Izzy Sommers


Napoleon Pastrami slowly let
Himself descend so expertly to set
Beside a monolith he recognized
From ancient scriptures that he realized
Since 1992 BC had not
Been seen by anyone and really ought
To be evacuated for review
By bible experts who were certain to
Establish the veracity of Saul
Because it stood before the wailing wall.
Unfortunately for Pastrami, he
Unleashed a trap of this antiquity
That wedged him firmly in between two stones
Which caused his death and leaving only bones
To show that he had been a visitor
Before a rediscovery meant for
The news that N. Pastrami sandwiched has
Been found in catacombs of blue topaz
In labyrinthine lighted corridors
That presently are lined with antique stores.
