![]() Ode to the Carnegie Kosher DeliTook a trip to New York a week ago The taxi meter apparently was broken The helpful cop at the subway booth Charged me triple for the subway token Statue of Liberty, catch a Yankee game Scintillating Broadway shows to see If I only have time for one place to go I’d choose the Carnegie Kosher Deli The aromas give off a New York High And you don’t pay for any cover Count the salamis hanging right off the wall While the waiters are fighting each other A little Gefilte Fish, nosh on their famous knish Taste a glass of sparkling, invigorating cold seltzer Room you should make, for a potato pancake Each one blessed by Head Rabbi Meltzer If you should wish, get a little side dish Order schmaltz with lots of tasty herring Go wash it down, with a Doctor Brown Keeps your stomach walls from tearing The Carnegie Deli is a culinary shrine My stomach waters as we speak Leave the sacred site with a full doggie bag You’ll have enough food left over, for the week Send this Whackocard to your friends! |
