New Year Flowers (White Flowers)

Our host do rise from bed
White Flowers
Serve us (Challah) braided eggbread
Flowers, white flowers

because mommy bake did not
White Flowers
Widemeshed sieve she did not have
Flowers, white flowers

By the time the sieve she got
White Flowers
The kneading bowl was cracked
Flowers, white flowers

Mom yelled at dad why tis so
White Flowers
Why a crack in our bowl
Flowers, white flowers

By the time the bowl was mended
White Flowers
Out of kilter was the oven
Flowers, white flowers

By the time they righted the oven
White Flowers
The New Year was upon us
Flowers, white flowers
