Balak

ten singularities the Sages teach
created erev Shabbos at one stroke
that physics and biology can't reach
(but not to say that natural laws broke)
the mouth of Balaam's ass could prophesy
what he whose eye is opened could not see
not just the mage's legs, so too his eyes
a seeing-eye ass for what's yet to be
what good the riches promised by a king
to curse this foreign nation passing through
if he cannot pronounce a blesséd thing
except as channel for eloheinu
mah tovu ohalekhah Yaakov!
don't bank on further wonders from above
