'twas the Night Before Pesach
~ 'Pesach' is Hebrew for Passover ~
‘Twas the night before Pesach
up and down the street
Not a speck of grain seen
no bread or barley to eat
No spaghetti, no noodles,
no pretzels or beer
No yeast-cakes or dough
nothing leavened ‘round here
But for matzo and wine
you’re in the right place
Fruit, eggs and potatoes
our fridge’s out of space…
Pesach's been just like this
over 3,000 years
A labor of love ~
for a festival dear
