I love haikus.
At any moment, a haiku is appropriate. For any class, a haiku is an appropriate activity. For any holiday, a haiku is called for.
So why not for Hanukkah? In the spirit of haiku and our upcoming festival of lights, I’ve composed a few Boston-inspired haikus that fit the celebratory mood of Hanukkah.
The TD Garden
Should have a big menorah
Not a Bud Light sign
If Paul Revere had
Been a Maccabee then he
Would have lit nine lamps
Latkes are better
Than other holiday foods
You can see them from Route 2
Chanukah candles?
Our heroes are the
Freedom isn’t free
Ouzo is better
Than nasty Manischewitz
Greek stuff is cool, too
There’s talk of Kevin
Youkilis being traded
That would really suck
