Taming of the Jew
Zedekiah was a wild young boy
who swore he would never settle down
always in trouble with his elders
he had been banned from the local town
the Rabbi chastised him constantly
his father threatened him with harm
out of pure ornery spite
he had a tattoo of Goliath put on his arm
picking fights and raising hell
no one knew what to do
how to take the fight out of him
but not the spirit within his soul too
then on his 16th birthday
a redheaded princess appeared
he caught her eye and she smiled his way
his heart raced too hard he feared
she was so beautiful he thought
she must be an angel from above
she said her name was Rebecca
and he instantly fell in love
she had heard about him she said
and all of his devious ways
if he had any serious interest in her
there would have to be changes made
as the months and the years swept by
everyday he loved her more
she captured his heart beyond belief
then came the knock on her door
he came to ask for her hand he said
he begged her to be his bride
he could no longer stand alone
his love was bursting inside
she smiled and kissed him oh so softly
and yes was her answer she swore
this wild young man had finally been tamed
he promised his heart forever more
