TRADITIONS

As usual, the wicked son blesses the matzoh;
As usual, the one too young to ask asks anyway;
As usual, Egyptian ghosts troop in when we say
Let all who are hungry come and eat with us!
One of them tells the joke he always tells
About being both a soldier and his parents’
First born so that he really should have been
Killed twice. He says it all happened so long ago
He no longer remembers how he died.
