He wrote the following verse on the ill-luck which seemed to dog him through life: I try to get on, but I cannot succeed; For against me the planets conspire; If a maker of shrouds I be- came in my need, None would die—a shroud to require. The planets and stars are so hostile to me, From my birth as against me they fight; If a seller of candles my trade were to be, The sun would be shining all night! • • • (Readers of The Jewish News are invited to submit humorous stories for publication in this column.)
