Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

There are a few words totally unfamiliar to me.

shad-harn, da-ya, golya, tsidderle, not sure about barshta.
Might be American terms, or I don't get the phonetics or I don't have a Deitsch-ganunke tsung.
golya I would say is gallows but it would have to include the hot water trough in this case I think.
'barshta' probably means bristles, in this case the coarse hair on a hog.

Did you miss the last line of the poem?
Und onnera dreck.
Isn't that a useful description for a great deal of General Theology, especially the kind discussed on Internet forums?

The tsiderrle sounds like leva vasht - that is one place the barshta could be evident. After all, in those days they used everything but the pig's squeal. Sorry for the hassa gspoua.
