10/10/2021 1:33 PM This is a sort of comical poem. It reminds me of an entry in a young person's autograph book:

Eat many bananas and nuts

And save a good, sweet, kiss for me.

(It rhymes in the Yiddish).

Yoschke is a nickname for Yehoshua. (See the JewishGen Given Name Database - using Poland as the country.)

The place at the bottom of the note states "Danzig", while the date might be May 27, 1935. Not sure what the squiggle after Danzig and before 27 is meant to represent....Jo
