It was the start of Hannukah and so we invited the Straus, the Strauss and the Spergel families to celebrate and the children gathered in one room
as the table was set
the donuts (Krispy Kremes just like the Maccabees had)
and the candles were ready
for the buffet full of food
and desserts which would fill us
even as the family room emptied
and the fire burned
while the children's table was set
and Audrey spoke with Sarah
as the adult table came into focus
adorned by menorahs
and the star
before children started to assemble at the children's table
and Cara posed
as the children ate
and Jane
Audrey and Sarah
and Alan and Ed were ready to sit at the adult table
where Rick
settled his plate
as the buffet cane into heavy usage
as I composed this plate for myself
while we all enjoyed the meal and the conversation
as the desserts loomed
but could not be touched until the menorah assembly had been done
with Ed and Alan
and Suzanne watching
as the candles were lit
amid singing
