The First Cut Is the Cheapest

by Steven Kent

“Circumcision kits found on sale on Amazon UK as concerns grow over harm to baby boys”
The Guardian

Problems coming to the fore:
Skin left scarred and so much more.
ER doctors say you’re nuts
Letting laymen make these cuts.
Listen, buddy, get a grip,
Learn a lesson, take a tip:
Should your babe not be a goil,
Never hire a self-taught mohel.
