משלוח מנות Mishap

Here's the TRUE poem I attached to my משלוח מנות - a chocolate trifle and a package of animal crackers.  I usually don't do a "theme" - and I had even bought the animal crackers before I thought of writing a poem- but it ended up fitting together perfectly...

Here’s the story of the chocolate cakes

That just weren’t meant to be-

Instead they turned into chocolate trifles-

As you can clearly see.

You know of course that my children,

Are an energetic, lively crew,

At times they act a little wild,

Resembling “animals” in the zoo!

So it happened one fateful afternoon,

I should have known not to be such a fool,

As to leave a huge batch of chocolate cakes,

Sitting on the counter to cool!

While Mommy’s back was turned,

With something else she was busy-

Those conniving Yunger children,

Ran to the kitchen in a tizzy!

They stuck their hands into those cakes,

Their faces with a mischievous gleam-

Gobbled it up as fast as they could,

Before Mommy began to scream!

As soon as Mommy noticed,

They quickly started to run-

But the chocolate cakes were broken-

The damage had already been done.

They say if life gives you lemons

You should use them to make lemonade-

So I followed that wise advice-

Enjoy the yummy trifle I’ve made!

פורים שמח!

 

(can you guess which "conniving Yunger children" were the culprits?!)
