Ouch

Ten-year-old David for Chanukah yearned
Bought a menorah with money he'd earned
   His cheap candles he lit
   But in half they did split
David learned ~ Buy quality or get burned

A lesson we have all learned, usually around age 10. Bravo!

I wonder where the number '10' came from?!... :)

David learned his lesson, it seems. Ouch, indeed !! I won't be borrowing any of his candles- that's for sure. Your thoughts made me smile. :) Brandy
