Getting Rid Of Chometz


By Bracha Goetz, author of What Do You See on Pesach?



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.
