Marathon Men

   In America, Passover’s a marathon
     in Israel, it’s a sprint
   Two nights @ four cups of wine in the USA
     One night, four cups, in the Holy Land, recover in a day 

   All that anticipation in Israel
     one measly night, the bubble bursts
   In the Diaspora, two long nights of carousing
     ~ though some would say we’re cursed
