Clean up the kitchen! <br />Toss the hametz! <br />Get the Seder dishes <br />Or Mama frets! <br />She's cleaning the oven, <br />She's scouring the stove, <br />Looking for the table cloth <br />Her Grandma wove. <br /> <br />Mama's gonna make <br />Our Seder, Seder, <br />Mama's gonna make <br />Our Pesach food! <br /> <br />Haroseth's the mortar <br />For Pharaoh and his peers; <br />Dip parsley in salt water <br />For the poor slaves' tears; <br />The sacrificial lamb, <br />We have the leg bone, <br />Bitter herbs for bad times, <br />The egg stands alone. <br /> <br />Mama's gonna make <br />Some matzohs, matzohs, <br />Mama's gonna make <br />Some matzoh bread! <br /> <br />Matzoh's under cover, <br />Plate's on the table, <br />The afkomen's hidden, <br />Find it if you're able! <br /> I’m asking tonight, <br />‘Cause I'm a fifth grader, <br />The traditional questions <br />For our thankful Seder. <br /> <br />Mama's gonna make <br />Some matzohs, matzohs, <br />Mama's gonna make <br />Some matzoh bread!<br /><br />John Bliven Morin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/matzoh-bread-to-the-tune-of-shortnin-bread/
