A 'Kvetch'
for Mary and Sally
(sung to the tune of
"Barret's Privateers
with apologies to Stan
Rogers, z''l)
With great affection, admiration, awe and much
love, Sharna

Ahh,
the year she be, 2003
(How
I wish I could have been there, then!)
When
Sally and Mary tied the knot,
And the family,
all 'off-guard' were caught
God damn them
both! We weren't told
Neither
chance to kvell, nor the moment, to behold
Would've
danced all night! Shed some tears!
For
it's the 'simcha of the century' in BC
They
signed the Marriage Registry!
Such
a well-kept secret, oy what fun
(How
I wish I could have been there, then!)
With
Hillel and Sheryl sworn to secrecy
Along
with daughter Leah - that made three
God damn them
both! We weren't told
Neither
chance to kvell, nor the moment, to behold
Would've
danced all night! Shed some tears!
For
it's the 'simcha of the century' in BC
They
signed the Marriage Registry!
The Chupah, I'm
told, was a beautiful sight
(How
I wish I could have been there, then!)
An intimate
occasion, not a big 'hoo hah'
Bet
there's never been a sweeter 'Brit A-ha-va'
God damn them
both! We weren't told
Neither
chance to kvell, nor the moment, to behold
Would've
danced all night! Shed some tears!
For
it's the 'simcha of the century' in BC
They
signed the Marriage Registry!
So
they're on their way to their 23rd year
(How
I wish I could have been there, then!)
They've
touched many souls right around the earth
And
they're always at the ready with their humour and mirth
God damn them
both! We weren't told
Neither
chance to kvell, nor the moment, to behold
Would've
danced all night! Shed some tears!
For
it's the 'simcha of the century' in BC
They
signed the Marriage Registry!
A Song for Sally and Mary
sung to the tune of 'Sunrise Sunset'
Lyrics by Sharna and Avi
December 21, 2003
Is this the little girl named Mary?
Is this the Sally that we knew?
Twenty-two years and they have finally
Said 'I do.'
When did she get to be a gabbai?
When did she start to sing so great?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were straight???
Chorus:
Mary, Sally
Sally, Mary
Two hearts,
just one bed
Who would
have thunk it, but it happened
Under the
Chupah, you were wed.
Mary, Sally
Sally, Mary
Your vows,
bound by law
We see what
you see in each other
Something you long ago both saw.
We're here to honour two neshamas.
Mary and Sally are divine.
While they're at work, they're also brewing
Home-made wine!
They look so natural together,
Just like two newlyweds should be.
BIG NEWS down at the RN A-B-C!
Chorus:
This is one miracle to treasure.
No, we're not talkin' bout some oil.
A happy end to the old story (of)
'Goil' meets 'goil.'
Now we're all here in celebration.
To our sisters, our brides we toast, HOORAH!
Blessed by each other – 'Achoti Kallah.'
