A few days later, the table was set for the seder
as Suzanne and Josephine prepared
matzah balls
kugel
potatoes
and cream was being carefully whipped
which amused Josephine
as the brisket appeared
along with matzah bark
and a host of other things
including macaroons
and this gift basket which came from people who couldn't make it
and a flourless cake
with forks to match
as the potatoes were readied
as were the matzah balls
and eggs
which went through the whisking process

and asparagus
and the lovely fruit bowl
as the caps from the auction beer
and then the beaters started churning
as lemons were squeezed
and not added to the mix
but rather to the double boiler
as the kitchen laptop was consulted for instructions
and the plates for gefilte fish were set out
and prepared.
At this point, Ben arrived with his room mates who had no idea what was ahead.
and Dr Len appeared as a shriner from Morocco, a non-existent concept.
Then, Andrew Ford arrived
to be followed by Martha
and Bill
who breezed in
with arms full of wine
which was displayed and then consumed
as DrLen and Judy posed in native garb
before all were assembled
and liquids were organized
which amused Suzanne at the opposite end of the table
as we turned to a discussion of the seder plate
even as DrLen showed off the songbook to Martha's amusement
and my plate was cleared of plaques and Hillel's sandwich
but there's always room for more charoset
and the nonfish part of the first plate
while others had the whole thing.
Soon, matzah ball soup was served
brisket was passed
and my plate began to take shape
but soon enough it was time to serve dessert
and then repatriate the afikomen.
Before Andrew left, we did a Blues Brothers imitation
