Long Dreidel Poems

While we dwell to this dreidel,
I seek to know before a sear,
Even in the most ineluctable dandle,
The fruit to which may indeed bear;
In the imbue oblivion, I tell a riddle,
Most morass yet merely in fear,
For...

but what ails is so out of date
that it forgets its name.
Body awareness fowls its anchor.

On Chanukah we dreidel spin
And chocolate gelt we hope to win.
If we get Gimel ‘stead of Shin,

With applesauce served on the side,
Our smiles sweet and...

A rare confluence of events
Is happening tonight
To fill both Jews and Christians
With a feeling of delight.

While Christmas brings excitement,
Knowing Santa Claus will show.

All celebrants will gather
With their kith...
