And soon we’re blowing shofar
And Yom Tov’s at our door
And my counselor is shouting
About the color war!
And school has not yet started
And backpacks are not packed
And Yom Hadin is knocking
Will we reach it intact?
I think about the calendar
It’s called Gregorian
I am not a philosopher
Nor a historian
But every once a while
It’s important to know
That our calendar and theirs
Do not go quite in tow
Imagine school
That used to start
Sometime near Labor Day
Well this year Rosh Hashanah
Is just two days away!
This year our Chanukah won’t fall
Sometime in December
While some are eating turkey
Latkes we’ll remember
Remember on the Yom Tov
Some kid would sneak the score
But now the games
Go way past then
A month and even more!
Oh Hillel and your bais din
Imagine what would be
If we just went on like this
With no Adar Sheini!
Our schedules are all
Messed up
And we’re confused for sure
So thank you for your vision
And for the ibber yohr!
