Apples and Honey

Once a year it’s time to dip
Some apples into honey.
If you know the reason why,
You’re Jewish – I’d bet money.

For at Rosh Hashanah,
As the New Year does begin,
We celebrate by licking honey
Off an apple’s skin.

It symbolizes sweetness,
Which we hope the coming year
Will provide for us and for, as well,
The ones that we hold dear.

So select a crisp fresh apple slice
And go ahead and dip,
But as you enjoy its sweetness,
Just be careful you don’t drip!
