The Weekly Comic! – Parshas Tazria!

Loosely translated: The coachman whips, the horses lash-out and all the while the journey progresses.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.
When the funds are low and the debts are high; and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit; rest you must, but do not quit!
Life is queer with its twists and turns; as everyone sometimes learns, Many a failure turns about; when you might have won had you stuck it out.
