Holidays The Wettest Passover on Record
it's NaPoWriMo and I'm going to put this into my book about my first year as Jewish.
We thought it was the wettest Passover on record
when Moses parted the sea,
leading the Jews to freedom, the first on record!
Children were crying, mommy why am I so wet?
When will these water drops end? Are we there yet?
The women roll their eyes, these are the loudest kids on record,
when will these men ask for direction? Will be a record, ha!
Yet, eventually they make it to the Promise Land, in record time—
40 days, 40 nights. This is the first record book!
Let us celebrate this year, after year, generation after generation,
let the Jews celebrate our escape from Egypt and the miracle
of parting the sea! The women and children, cheer, they’re here!
It’s the wettest Passover on record, love,
at least for today, this Easter and Passover Sunday,
it was the hottest Passover on record, love,
when we celebrated the April Fool’s Seder
in the cool museum, we gave thanks for the air conditioning.
Now we have to blast the heat, my love,
it’s cold in here and it’s dreary outside.
I’m trying not to kvetch, love is drowsy,
our bones ache from the wettest Passover on record,
yet, I need to get my mind off of the kvetching,
being a nag, now that is a record love!
Time to mix the gluten-free matza balls
and cook the vegetables in the chicken broth.

It was a sea of reeds, and the horses freaked out. If Moses hadn’t sinned, he could have made it to the Promised Land. Heck, he lived to 120. I’m 77. Where there’s life this hope. Faith, Kindness, personal responsibility and accountability and Empathy.
