W:Yachne-Dvoshe's in a dither, packing for the market place. She is off to buy the flour to bake Purim
W:cakes. (Ho, my homentashn! Ho, my white delights! Ho, my homentashn didn't come out quite right!)
W:It's raining, it's snowing, the roofs are dripping, Yachne's bringing cornmeal home in a bag that's
W:ripping. She's brought no honey, no poppy-seed, and forgot the yeast. But Yachne's making
W:homentashn. They're in the oven, at least. Yachne's carrying her Purim gift to her mother-in-law,
W:two or three homentashm, half-burnt and half-raw.
