Give the Poor Girl a Hat
This (Hebrew) month is named Cheshvan
No more Jewish holidays, all done with the fun
A bit of sadness in that
So we Jews give poor Cheshvan a 'hat'
We call her "Mar Cheshvan," the "Mar" meaning 'Mister'
Though when Kislev comes and the dreidels whir
Poor "Mister Cheshvan" ~ No one misses her
_____________________________________________
'Ch' in 'Cheshvan' is pronounced like 'Ch' in 'Channukah.'
Kislev is the name of the month after Cheshvan
Channukah always starts on the 25th of Kislev
Dreidels are a Channukah toy
