My name is Joseph Am a Jewish bachelor Or call me a male spinster Am a poor penniless carpenter Am pushing forth and back my plane And waving my old claw hammer Hitting the nail on the head And chopping of its ears by my adze In the entirety of Israel and Hebrew world My beautiful Hebrew fiancée is Mary No she is already my wife , Mary wife of my youth She is pregnant minus my nuptiality Minus my conjugal enfranchisement And the man who fertilized her Was witnessed and flunkeyed by Gabriel The airy voice in the amorphous whirlwind Without form and shape but erotically crazy How sad; I am a victim of the spiritual powers that be My jealousy of humanity will be condemned blasphemous Kindly come and feel with me, please feel for me How do you see? For someone else To have *** and *** with your newlywed wife Or your beautiful ***** Or your lovable concubineous fiancée Until he makes her pregnant with male foetus Then he commands you to marry her Because you are only a humble wood work He commands you to accept fornication As immaculate *** that yield holy pregnancy Holy conception but nothing bad or foul, What if that male foetus comes out a son Who resembles foreigners from beyond the mountain? But not me, his head having shape of a hook I am annoyed with this heaven chauvinist religion This horrible anti-human relationship From which I will be degraded and come out ignobled And the one who impregnated my wife Will be exulted and ennobled to the throne of glory His son and himself they will be made an exalted religion But I will die desperate as a carpentering lout A worthless Jewish oat, reeking a foul stench O Death! Come take me away from this humiliated life I don’t want to see this Jewish Mary with her bulging belly Her beauty and sexuality has made me a village pumpkin She is in no way a ******
