APRIL, NO FOOLIN'

4/3/2015

Welcome to April, adieu March, no foolin'

Two holidays this weekend is nothing but cruel in

A kitchen diminutive, tiny, petite

No matter, this workspace must pump out the sweets

When Pesach and Easter doth coincide,

To dietary laws we try to abide

The all-purpose flour and matzo cake meal

Share the same space

That’s a really big deal

Keeping them separate, the cookies the cakes

Attention to detail, no room for mistakes

And while Sonos continues the same 40s tunes

Here I am drizzling these last macaroons

The pastry bag’s dripping with chocolate, not funny

Now there’s some chocolate on royal iced bunnies

A solo non Easter observer am I

Rollin’ the shells, bakin’ the pies

In a kitchen of peeps where we all coincide

Try as you might, you can’t run you can’t hide

I’m munching on matzo

And dreaming- a vision

Of next week without any cookie collision

We’ll pack up the carrot, the egg and the bunny

The snow will have melted the sky will be sunny

This dual fête weekend will fade quite away

Time to regroup before Mother’s Day

Thank goodness on Sunday

The bakery is closed

You’ll find me and Elijah, we’ll be in repose

I wish you a Happy whatever you choose

(Personally I look forward to catching a snooze)

I have to admit Easter Bunny’s a showman

And yes, he is cute

But he’s no afikomen
