[HANASHIR:2029] The last dreidel verses

[Carol Leon <cbleon...>]

I sent you my third graders' dreidel verses last week; and I promised 
the 4th and 5th graders I saw yesterday I'd do the same with their 
creative efforts.  So, to live up to my promise (even though Chanukah 
ends just hours from now...)

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of straw,
And when I went to spin it, it broke the speeding law.

I have a little dreidel, I made if from a stone,
A little doggie ate it, he thought it was a bone.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of wood,
My little brother ate it, he thought it tasted good.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of string,
And when I went to spin it, it began to sing.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of spice,
And when I went to spin it, it smelled really nice.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of light,
But for some strange reason, it only works at night.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of bubbles,
But whenever I spin it, I can only see in doubles.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of pickles,
And when I put it on my hand, it always spins and tickles.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of leather,
And when I throw it in the air, it grows a little feather.

I have a little dreidel, I made it from a pole,
And when I went to spin it, it dug a real deep hole.

I have a little dreidel, I spun it on a well,
And what it landed on, I just couldn't tell.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of wood,
I set it on fire, then it didn't spin so good.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of ashes,
And when I go to spin it, it always smashes.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of ink,
And when I went to spin it, it turned the floor all pink.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of schmutz,
When I went to spin it, it turned into a kibbutz.

I have a little dreidel, I made it out of plutonium,
And when it got to China, it caused a pandemonium.

Phew.  Happy Chanukah to all!  -- Carol Boyd Leon
