CHRISMUKKAH

At 6:00 PM on Christmas Day
Hanukkah started.
“You don’t say.”
Yes, 2005 was a special year.
It summed to seven,
A number so dear
Our Christmas tree
Cost seventy dollars.
“Another seven,” someone hollers.
Our Christmas ham cost $ 19.31,
That’s the year I was born. Now isn’t this fun?
But then I wonder. Is it a sham?
I, Ute Herbig-Kaboolian, wow!
Man, oh, man,
What a ham I am!
