Oy Vey!

English type of thinking when applied to Yiddish
Likely causes sinking and makes the reader skittish.

Consider the verbal analogy, first shtick and then shtickle.
If one is a laughter trick, the other causes humor to trickle.

So wary of the malaprop and other verbal abuse.
I wait not for the shoe to drop by keeping these rhymes obtuse.
