Chag Sameach to all
A Fool and a Fox tried to hatch a plot
But the Fox was fooled and foiled was the plot
No more did the Fool make jest and fun
Since he, and his friend, both were hung. (on a coat hanger)
That was a slice of the Purim puppet spiel from Burquest’s Purim Party, complete with a Royal Giraffe, sweet Esther, Mordechai, Vashti and the King of Persia. Evil Haman was groggered into oblivion.
The play was followed by an illustrated megillah reading, with Cantor Levin chanting in various voices, from Esther’s to the King’s.
Hamentashen, Popcorn, and delicious treats completed the scene.
Chag samach to all!
