And we, so lovingly prepare to bake, Those three-cornered Hamantashen. The filling is a tasty treat, With variety to please all. A brand new filling is in readiness, When granddaughter makes her call. She's sweet as honey and loves chocolate. So, for surprise, she's due. When she bites into a Hamantash, And finds her "DrearroCome True." With all this heart-felt satisfaction. Comes thought of that fiendish Haman Whom are forefathers chose to bring right judgement So we could live again. As we come upon this joyous time And, once again, rejoice Together, let us all be heard That true rights be our fair choice.
