Nechamah Liebowitz read Vayigash
as evidence that Judah had matured
no more the jerk who sold Joseph for cash
a chastened mensch, who now would keep his word.
Set up, that he might sin yet none would know
just as he'd sinned before in callow youth
afflicting Jacob with heartbreak and woe
this time, for Benjamin he tells the truth.
Glad metamorphosis, he's now a man
deserving Joe's forgiveness and support
and Joe in turn sustains them as he can
'though not before they've squirmed before the court.
Teshuvah remade Judah fit to rule,
when Onan's widow took her judge to school.
