Book Cover & Preview Text
The Bible’s a best selling book Five books are the Torah for a Jew
It appears wherever you look The New Testament they tend to eschew
In hotels it’s found And most of their rules
By guests homeward bound Are taught in their schools
I wonder how many they took Where they also teach children Hebrew
Exodus 35: 3 Matthew 2: 11
Somehow it doesn’t seem right It seems that when Mary gave birth
To hire goyim to turn off the light A bright star shown down on the earth
But the day that God blessed And three men did appear
Is a day we should rest Near the end of the year
That means no work ’til tonight Do you know what Frankincense was worth?

About the Book
This book contains over 400 limericks based on biblical verses. They are more informative than amusing and provide an interesting way to read the Bible. Occasionally, more by accident than by design, a limerick may provide a chuckle, if not enlightenment. While Genesis provides the largest number of limericks, twenty-one verse Obadiah has at least one.
