Getting Rid of Chometz poem
Getting Rid of Chometz
by Bracha Goetz
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.
(Bracha Goetz is the author of twelve children's books, including The Happiness Box, The Invisible Book, and What Do You See At Home?)

Bracha's new poem really is neat:
We should deflate ourselves not just the wheat!
We might be in a hurry,
And hate getting dirty,
But Pesach cleaning is really a treat!
