A Chanukah Poem

Crumbs — alisa on December 30, 2005 at 5:55 pm
Where would we be without the Jews?
FOX would have a lot less news,
Our history books would not be so full,
Israel would have a lot less pull.

“Chanukah? What’s that?” we’d say,
Christmas is the only winter holiday,
“Eight days of presents, I can’t refuse,”
Just thank G-d for those Jews.

We wouldn’t have the Torah,
Or the Menorah,
Our businesses would still be intact,
And we’d have our own banks (although they might not be so exact).

We wouldn’t have bagels, blintz, or cheesecakes,
We’d just have our bad movie remakes.
New York City wouldn’t be the same,
Monopoly wouldn’t have been just a game.

Although we’ll never understand why bacon’s bad,
We know why wearing a yarlmuka will never be a fad.
So where would we be without the Jews?
That will be left for you to muse.

  5. Did you go skydiving, or just take photos of skydivers?

  6. I just took the pictures.

    Miraculously enough, I’m not old enough to skydive yet. But when I am, I will be!
