O Chanukah, Dear

O Chanukah, dear my problem is clear You arrived way, way too early this year What's a fellow to do your candles all through Potato latkes all eaten dreidels spun, weather-beaten Still no snow on the ground yet to come Christmas sounds While holiday gifts they are wrapping Chanukah's tucked away, napping Alas and alack, please make up your mind never again to fall so far behind 12/25, Chanukah! next year, do you hear if you expect me to be of holiday cheer

I thought that Chanukah came truly early this year too; what determines how early?

Naught to worry as the older one gets, the faster the wheel spins . . . . .

That's right, Rico. Where did the time go? How'd I get to 39 yet again?! Smiles, Gershon
