Day 17: The Last Night of Chanukah

Short, sweet, to the point. Had to get it in before sunset tonight, because it's Friday.

The Last Night of Chanukah
By Batsheva 12/18/09

It’s the last night of Chanukah
And it makes me want to cry
The last night of Chanukah
How I hate to say goodbye
To candles, dreidels, presents
Latkes and sufganiyot
Tomorrow night we put away
The lovely chanukiyot.

It’s the last night of Chanukah
But we shouldn’t shed a tear
Because we trust it will return
At this same time next year.

(And it may help if you remember, please,
We’ll need the year to work off
All those oily calories!)

  1. We never do put away our hanukyiot, heh. They sit in the window all year long, waiting, waiting.
