Passover
-- Eggs Galore!
By Ann Green
Passover’s coming,
there’s so much to do,
Cleaning the house
till it shines like it’s new.
Planning the
Seder, inviting the guests,
Finding haggadahs
and all the rest.
Shopping and
cooking are high on the list,
To make those
favorites that can’t be missed.
But first on the
list, way up high
Is figuring how
many eggs to buy.
The Passover
recipes that we adore,
Need eggs, eggs,
eggs and eggs galore.
My kugel takes
nine eggs, my apple cake four,
I think I’m all
set, then I still need some more.
Matzah balls for a
crowd can take twenty-seven,
My favorite
dessert requires eleven.
Would fourteen
cartons be too many?
All I know now is
I haven’t got any.
Then there’s the
egg on the Seder plate…
I should figure
this out before it’s too late!
Eggs with matzah,
eggs with farfel,
I’ll probably wind
up buying a car full.
How many
guests? How many cousins?
I think I’ll need
eggs by the dozens of dozens.
Eggs by the truckload, eggs by the ton.
I’ll be buried in
shells when dinner’s all done.
Cracking and
beating again and again,
I think next year
I’ll just buy a hen!
