A Purim Poem from Michelle Nevada

Purim’s here, the trees in bloom

And Qadaffi soon will go KaBoom!

Japan is facing it’s own Godzilla,

As we strain to hear the whole Megillah.

Cities still are stuck in traffic,

(Will “road repairs” make Obama’s bracket?)

We don’t need Polar Shift around,

To see the world is upside-down.

But even as we gaze in horror,

We know there is a Great Restorer.

So be happy and think of Purim today,

Enjoy the sun, the birds, and play!

The fate of the world is not in your hand,

The earth doesn’t tremble at your command.

On Purim, G-d shows us how to react,

How best to have a most impact:

Share sweetness with a friend and neighbor,

Give charity from your honest labor.

Hashm, even hidden, is the Only Power,

Who can heal a heart, or bloom a flower.
