Getting Rid Of Chometz
We’re turning the house inside out for Passover, but we shouldn’t forgot who the real culprit is – not the dust and the cobwebs, but the arrogance in our hearts…
I’m up to the kitchen,
And everywhere I look,
It seems I’m uncovering,
More and more gook.
I’m climbing inside cupboards,
Scrubbing every crack,
Just please don’t ask,
What I find in the back.
I get changed by this work..
You know how I can tell?
I start feeling so “crumby,”
My head doesn’t swell.
While scouring chometz,
Caked into hidden places,
The process itself,
Lets me see concealed traces…
Of arrogance,
Which is just as widespread.
I discover I’m more puffed up,
Than Wonder Bread.
It’s a humbling experience.
That is for sure.
Pesach cleaning –
A big ego’s best cure.
