The Purim Parade

 

It’s the Purim Parade!

When all us kids in Hebrew school

Dress up like the story

In costumes and win  prizes!

We have six Esthers

She’s a Jewish girl in ancient Persia,

She ‘s very smart and brave and beautiful

And she marries the King which kinda sucks  

There are two Vashtis,

That’s the wife of the King, who leaves him because he’s creepy,

She’s pretty, too.

There’s four Mordecais,

He’s Esther’s uncle,  

He’s very smart and brave and handsome,

He wears a robe.

We have two Kings

He’s the king of Persia

(With a long name I can’t  pronounce

I just call him The King),

He is stupid and ugly, 

So he has a big crown and funny wig.

There’s even two Haman’s!

Haman is mean and cruel,

He wants to kill all the Jews!

Spoiler Alert, we kill him instead.

He’s the bad guy

So he wears a funny mustache and silly make up

Because we hate him.

Every year Bobby  or one of his brothers is Haman.

Bobby likes it when we boo.

I used to be Esther,

And I always won

Because I have a tiara.

My mom says everybody should have a tiara.

Esther is pretty butboring so this year I’m Vashti.

She’s my mother’s favorite because she talks back to the King  

But next year I think I’ll be Mordecai

Because he’s smart  and gets to ride a donkey  

My baby brother wants to be the donkey  

Happy Purim!
