The Passover Section

With springtime now upon us,

If your town has lots of Jews,

The supermarket has some foods

You might have need to use.

For Passover’s approaching

And the holiday demands

No bread or pasta be consumed;

Thus, stores have made their plans.  

A special section’s filled with

All the substitutes we need

To serve at Seder time, just like

The ancient texts decreed.

There’s matzoh meal, gefilte fish

And macaroons and cakes

And all of the ingredients 

For anyone who bakes.

This Passover array depends

On neighborhood and store,

So often pickings might be slim 

While other shops have more.

For Jewish folk with markets

With no matzoh, I’d behoove

You to tell the owners how you feel

Or do what I’d do - move!
