The table is set
the door’s open wide
in hopes that Elijah
will come on inside.
No trace of the chametz
but the matzoh is here
Haggadahs are handy
the plagues, they are near.
Seder plate prepared
in all of its glory
from Charoset to maror
for the Exodus story.
The guests with their questions
and four cups of wine
break the afikoman
It’s Jerusalem next time.
