The story of Purim Part 1.
Achashverosh the King of Shushan
was descended from the Persian clan
he made a great feast
at which he released
a most hideous and outrageous plan.
That vashti his beautiful queen
must come and let herself be seen
wearing not a royal gown
but a sparkling crown
but vashti said no, thats obscene.
The king stamped his foot with a bang
and did his wife vashti harangue
haman said across the land
wives will ignore their hubby’s command
so I think vashti deserves to hang.
After time the king did reminisce
and vashti his queen he did miss
so he called his wise men
said he would marry again
‘go find the best beauty’ he did hiss.
I dont care if you must harass her
make sure that you find her, dont pass her
right across my empire
bring me all you admire
one of them went and spotted Hadassa.
She was seized and shlepped off to the palace
by soldiers who were filled with malice
she tried to resist
but her cries were dismissed
by cruel troopers who were really callous.
Other girls captured also did preen
and smear with oil for a sheen
Esther kept herself plain
“from these things I abstain”
achashverosh still chose her as queen.
Mordechai heard bigson and seresh
plotting to harm the king’s flesh
but cause mordechai knew every tongue
they were found out and hung
when in their plot they did enmesh.
Then achashverosh did a silly thing
he took from his finger his ring
and gave it to haman
who to kavod would run
this made him into second to the king.
Now haman was a real bad guy
who held of himself very high
to him all had to bow
or get killed here and now
so all did it except mordechai.
This filled haman with a rage
How dare he, that rude Jewish sage
his anger was frothing
all his power meant nothing
I will kill him and turn a fresh page.
