'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
