KVETCH THIS.

Boy would I love to read this book! It would teach me even more about that magnetic-yiddish-poetry-set that my mom (I mean SANTA) got me for Christmas.



kvetch (yiddish):
verb [intrans]
a chronic complaint, or to complain with whining persistence. To nag.
"a rambling kvetch against the system"
