Matzoh
Some say it tastes like cardboard
While others think it’s great.
The way you feel about it
Isn’t worth a big debate.
For if your background’s Jewish
You’ll consume it for a week,
In honor of tradition
Or acknowledgement you seek.
I like mine spread with butter
And a slice of Muenster cheese
Or mixed with egg for matzoh* brei,
A breakfast sure to please.
But when the week is over,
Let me make this very clear,
I will not taste another bite
‘Til Passover next year!
*or matzo, matzah or any other spelling you like!
