so tonight Iām at synagogue, listening to the Purim Night reading of the Book of Esther, like you do
and near the end of this chapter my brain presents me with the following:
noooooĀ oooooneĀ plots like Haman calls the shots like Haman plans a genocide by casting lots like Haman
(It only works with the Hebrew pronunciation of Haman, which, like Gaston, is accented on the second syllable.)
By the time we get home my brain has added:
for thereās none so well-favored and kingly yes, we all can be certain of that heās so rich that his pockets are jingly and he looks really sharp in a three-cornered hat
*face in hands*
Petition to sing this every year at Purim.
I shared this with my dad, and he added:
No oneās spruce as Haman, Nor abstruse as Haman; No oneās half as good tying a noose as Haman! Heāll use gallows in all of his decorating! No one else hangs as well as Haman!
niiiiice
i know several people who will definitely appreciate this.
this is beautiful
oh wait
When I was a lad I hatched four dozen plots Every morning, to raise myself highā¦ And now that Iām grown I hatch five dozen plots So all those who oppose me shall die!
Oy, what a goy, that Haman!
*SPLUTTERS*
@neubauje
Happy Purim everyone!
ok so i may have gone a little extra, as is my specialty, and conglomerated all the verses together plus a few of my own to make a full song (minus the more chit-chatty bits in the original disney song)
please do not ask me why i did this, as i do not know anyways hereās a thing Nooooo ooooone plots like Haman Calls the shots like Haman Plans a genocide by casting lots like Haman āFor thereās none so well-favored and kingly Yes, we all can be certain of that!ā Heās so rich that his pockets are jingly And he looks really sharp in a three-cornered hat! No oneās loud like [insert noisemakers] Draws a crowd like [more noise] Nor demands people near him be bowed like [booing] āAs the kingās right-hand man, why, itās liberating!ā Oy, what a goy, that Haman! ... āWhen I was a lad I hatched four dozen plots Every morning, to raise myself highā¦ And now that Iām grown I hatch five dozen plots So all those who oppose me shall die!ā No oneās strife like Haman Has a life like Haman Whoops! He went and pissed off the kingās wife, that Haman... For thereās none quite so anti-Semitic At least not for like, maybe, five years But Mordecai, heās quite the critic May Queen Estherās reveal be the last thing he hears! No oneās spruce as Haman Nor abstruse as Haman No oneās half as good tying a noose as Haman! Heāll use gallows in all of his decorating! No one else hangs as well as Haman!
