The Producer
The Producer sadly shakes His head
As His guest gets up to leave
Because there was still much to be said
More of the tale to weave
Though He worked long and hard on this tale
A brand new show to premier
If the watcher now wanted to bail
Up to this point the film was bland
The story standard and mundane
It was leading up to something grand
A random chapter picked would show
A hospital ward full of joy
A yeshiva filled with bright young men
Learning each and all day long
Their studies supported yet again
By the saved boy, now rich and strong
At the weekly Shabbos table
Their family content, happy and stable
A great-grandchild 100 years hence
May cure the common cold
If we saw the full tale unfold
Another descendent, a less famous one
With an important role to play
Picks up schoolkids on his morning run
And drives them home again each day
Which is what he prefers
With the kindness he confers
The last clip shows a child in a scary place
Lost in a large and busy crowd
He turns; you see he has your face
So many faces go spinning past
Like snowflakes in a storm
In a world so chilly and so vast
The ones you know can keep you warm
The present is just one small piece
