Hanukkah Poem
Picture Antiochus the fourth
A large and hairy Antiochus the fourth
Constipated
It has been three days
A loser on the Egyptian front
A thought bubble rises
I’ll go crush Jerusalem
Win a few style points
Get a fresh supply of women
Has the story been told from the pig’s vantage point?
The crate opens:
The Temple of the Jews? Yee-haw! I’m free at last!
Irony: the pig is the new Isaac.
No one can spell Hannukah, but it is easy to explain:
We eat this because you cook it in something else which reminds us of something else
Judah Maccabee
Warrior-hero
You are now hollow milk chocolate
Annually decapitated
At one point in the rebellion someone sat, face in hands, weeping:
My brother has been crushed by an elephant
