Chaye Sarah

the well-scene found a bride, but lacked a groom,
to shower gifts upon the blushing lass.
Instead, a servant must contract her doom,
and gold attested to the suitor's class.
when Laban put the question in her ear
would she betroth the guy what sent such wealth
Rebecca answered "I'm so out of here!"
and barely pause to wish them all good health.

The hospitality of Laban's tents
had come to feel constrictive at the seams
and she'd been thinking it was time she went
to find the distant husband of her dreams.
For Isaac who could never leave the Land,
a bride fell from her camel to the sand.
