Four Cups of Wine

~ A Passover Tale ~ Four cups of wine They say I must drink I’m getting too old for this Don't you think... But I psyched myself up and drank the first cup The room didn’t spin I thought I might win… Then came a second cup and later a third I glanced at my son He looked like a bird… Came time for cup the fourth but I took the fifth So as not to incriminate myself ~ converted to Buddhism forthwith... Now if ever there was a faerie tale, this one is it I had better stop here ‘fore' that wine drowns my wit

Imaginations to drown yourself by! Hope your celebration was wonderful! I attended my first Sunrise Easter service. A cloudy day but so very nice.

Sunrise Services are the greatest, esp. when the Sun shows up! Wait 'til next time, Kim.

Hmmm...I'm trying to remember whether we had four cups of wine at the Sadar I remember. I think so.

Maybe you had five or six. Once you've had four, what's the difference anyway? lol. Thanks, Milt.
