Pass Out

    Passover  Passover  Pass out
    What’s all the commotion about
       Those four cups of wine
       My eyes don’t align
    Passover  Passover  Pass out


                  * * * *
    The first night of Passover --
    outside of Israel, the first two
    nights -- Jewish law requires
    that one over age 13 drink
    four cups of wine. Those who
    are strict do not substitute
    grape juice. (I do ~ Mr. Stricken)

Thank you for this poem. I always learn something in your poems. Is it four cups per night, or over two nights? Is the amount a full cup, or can you just put a drop in each cup?

Four cups per night. Minimum amount is 3 ounces of wine. ~ gw
