[HANASHIR:12906] Dreidel Verses

[Rick Lupert <Rick...>]

Title: Dreidel Verses

Compiled from this list over the past few years including those from the innocent minds of children we teach, and the not so innocent minds of those who do the teaching.

Some aren't appropriate for children, though who am I to make such decisions?  So I just have them all in no particular order:

and when I went to spin it, it spun just like it should.
