Happy Chanukah

A COMMENTARY ON REWRITING JUDAISM, OR JUST A FUNNY SONG:

I took a piece of cardboard
Some staples and the pen
But whey I try to use it
It simply would not spin

Oh, dreidle, dreidle, dreidle
How come you will not spin
I think I'll make another
And try my luck again.

I took a piece of metal
and made one in the shop,
I tell you then what happened
When that dreidle dropped

Oh, dreidle, dreidle, dreidle
It fell upon my toe
and when they take my cast off
I won't use it no more.

I made one out of cotton
It was much fun to play
I left the window open
My dreidle flew away

Oh, dreidle, dreidle, dreidle
I made this one through life,
I think I'll make another
This time I'll get it right

I made one out of ice-cream
It was so nice and sweet
But one day I was hungry
My dreidle I did eat

Oh, dreidle, dreidle, dreidle
I better stick with clay
And when it's dry and ready
My dreidle I shall play!
