Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Hung Over 'Til June

Passover’s coming so soon, so soon
  In two more orbits of the moon, the moon
Please take a matzo or a macaroon, macaroon
  And sing us a festival tune, tune... 

At least matzo ball soup can’t be ruined, ruined
  Unless you eat it with a teaspoon, teaspoon
Use a nice-size, silver soup-spoon, soup-spoon
  Just don’t overeat, or you’ll swoon, you’ll swoon…

From four cups of wine no one’s immune, immune
  So sleep late tomorrow, ‘til high noon, high noon
Hope you’re not hung over ‘til June, ‘til June ~ 
  But if you are, with ‘spirits’ you'll commune, commune…

Panagiota Romios April 13, 2022 at 11:42 AM A Blessed Pesach, Gershon. Great food, Holiday, Kosher wine, etc. I have not been to a Pesach Celebration for many years. Leave the door open for Elijah and send me some Kosher Matza, ))) please? Thank you. Love the rhythm in this creation. Panagiota xo Gershon Wolf April 13, 2022 at 2:07 PM Thank you so much for the upbeat comment, Panagiota. This year, we'll be thinking mostly of those in the Ukraine, as my wife is from Kharkiv, her 'old stomping grounds' totally pulverized. Thank God, all but two of her friends there got out to Poland and beyond. Happiness and Light, Gershon
