Chanukah is here
special time of year
her bright message so clear ~
A tiny flame displaces
much darkness and fear
1948 the year a country was raised from the dead
120 an age you'd live to if your not dead
2068 The dead line for what is said
Do not live me,
Let me die,
Or let me become yours.
Look, do not think
I love to say love,
Or do not deny me
And die,Let me stay.
A minor holiday, the Sages say
with a major message for today
Never let big government dictate terms
even when it comes to tiny germs
White
Christmas
memories
riding a sleigh
around the whole world
sharing wishes
here and there,
worldwide
bright
I went to a pool
it was pretty cool
but then I was tired at school
my teachers think I'm a fool
good food makes me drool
my shirt is made out of wool
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
to tell all the neighbors that I know
After eight straight nights of Chanukah
there's still one more miracle to go
It's Christmas Day
Chanukah too
A day of salvation
for Christian and Jew
Our rituals differ
That much is true
Yet we all unite
in the Festivals' Lights
Gifts…OCD
Every time around Hanuka
I’m tagged with the same old moniker
Do I get the eight gifts
Or let her get miffed
With just one giant gift to astonish her?
O joyous Happy Hanukkah to my
wonderful Jewish friends,
love and friendship never ends.
Light the menorah, gather round,
the presence of God and His angels-
a beauteous sound!
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
We are not anti-Jewish
We're only 'anti-Israel,' you see
So, your Jewish Chanukah celebration is canceled
~ it implies we support the Israelis
Christmas is now the Holidays.
But Hanukkah is still Hanukkah
and Ramadan is still Ramadan.
Easter still has its name.
The media needs more time
to make the change.

I met a young Jew
it's sad to say
Who wasn't taught
Why or how to pray
I choked back a tear
as I lit festive candles dear
'Gaze into the flames, son
Their warmth brings God near'

Santa Claus sure is fine, and he’s dandy
On Chanukah he gives out the candy
He wants to light the lights
But instead starts a fight
In Mayberry that job falls to Andy
To celebrate Chanukah right
is all about kindling light
Restoring the Holy Temple's site
one cruse of oil burned so bright ...
Israel's eternal plight ~
to merely exist, it ever must fight
Lord, Why does Satan determine
Who is admitted to this country
Who live in different neighborhoods
Who goes to college
Who is rich or poor
Who our leaders will be
Who will live or die
Why
I am the One who determines
how long
is a foot locker
and what
do they keep in it?
foot lockers
foot solders
foot long hotdogs
footballs
what is the obsession
are they politically correct
or are they just a foot fetishes
at the foot of my bed
Eight days and nights of Chanukah
is a little much for me
I've gotten to that 'golden age'
where it's really hard to be
Happy, happy, happy
morning, noon and night
I'd just like to go to sleep
once I light the lights
Oh my divinity, shalt thou absolve me?
For I bruised and gashed she
For I deceived and deposed she
For I breached and abondoned she
For I let she go and escaped .
Oh my almighty,canst thou be venial?

Potato latkes* sizzle
in pure olive oil
pancakes fry up brown
One scrumptious bite
~ assimilation drowns

On Bondi Beach a Chanukah celebration,
lights, fellowship, and joy.
Til two gunmen shot and killed over
a dozen people.
But a brave Muslim man who was
shot twice,
disarmed a shooter to prevent
more deaths.
Brotherhood shone on Bondi Beach. ~
A life short-lived, but a life lived regardless
A cavalcade of those once loved marching backwards
Black light glinting through the eyes of the ephemeral
A shining, black casket filled not with despair, but hope.
An ephemeral hope, but hope nonetheless.
