Hanukkah Harmonica
Last Hanukkah was teh best -
full of stories and of laughter,
latkes, dreidels, candles bright,
shiny gelt. And then right after
we opened our presents, neatly wrapped:
a book from Mom, a shirt from Dad,
and from my cousin Monica
a wonderful harmonica!
I learned to play it right away,
took it with me everywhere -
played horas after Hebrew school,
played polkas for the Purim Fair,
played mayim for our Parents' Night,
played lullabies by campfire light.
I must take time out from this day
to write a note long overdue.
Here is what I want to say
(Don't you think that you would, too?)
"Dear cousin Monics,
I love the harmonica
You sent me last Hanukkah!"
