Rosh Hashanah
Buy a challah - make it round.
Cook some kasha - lightly browned.
Bake a brisket, with a mound
Of onions on the top.
Lots of vino to be downed.
Honey cakes to add a pound.
Hugs and wishes to abound
And smiles that never stop.
Hear the shofar's plaintive sound.
Links to childhood somehow found.
Ready now - we're New Year bound -
New sins to which we'll cop!
(Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year,
where whatever sins you've committed
in the past year are erased.)
