Please help...PURIM POEM FOR THE UNTHEMED MM

Being creative all day as a kindergarten teacher I tend to be less than enthusiastic about MM.
We do most of our MM through tzedaka organizations but we will deliver some.

Our MM are simple, and no theme.
They will have the following items:

1 box candy
1 can pringles
1 piece of fruit.

Any suggestions for a witty purim poem would be humbly and GRATEFULLY appreciated.

Your new BFF,
Valleymom

A Purim theme we have not,
Although we'll give this poem a shot!
We wish you all joy and all good,
From the ValleyMom 'hood,
Even though this poem lacks a plot!

A freilichen Purim to all,
We hope you do have a ball!
We hope you enjoy our food,
Pringles are cool, dude!
Eat up, chag sameach, y'all.

Purim is a time for joy,
But coming up with theme made us go "Oy!"
Although we are themeless,
Our mesholach manos are seamless!
So please eat up and enjoy!

...Wait, you said "witty" right? Never mind, ignore these. Smile

Last year, I had no theme and wrote

This year we have no shtick, no theme,
Just wanna wish you a happy PuRIM.

I put the nukudah chirik under the resh, so theme puRIM rhymed

Thanks so much ladies!
It's nice to know I do indeed have good friends!!!!
Any other Ladies up for the challenge of writing a verse about UN themed MM???!

I CHALLENGE you!!!
Have an awesome day everyone!!

See, now I think that's hysterical.
My neighbors might not appreciate the subtlety of the verse.

Purim is my favorite holiday except for the stress of the darn themes.

I am anti theme.

Just bring me good food!-- and noone gets hurt!
Smile

if you dont do a theme why do you need a poem? I thought a poem was a neccessity born of the need to explain a theme? and no theme = no need for a poem?

put you best wishes in your own heartfelt words, I find they are more appreciated

OMG I thought I was going to get slammed for being a party pooper with that. I was feeling slightly cynical at the time. Now I'm flattered Smile

Jumping on the "Here's nosh" bandwagon. Wink

How about:

Admit it!
The last poem you got--you FRUIT out--did you not?
Don't worry, we won't put you on the spot.
So this year, our theme is venahapuch hi
Just to show you what we CAND-DY.
We'll PRINGLE the nosh you want, but no motif
For us, this is a great relief.
We hope it ain't too grave a sin.
Here's wishing you a Purim that's not too BOXED in!

I combined all of your ideas and the end result is this:

A Purim theme we have not,
Although we'll give this poem a shot:
We wondered if there�s a chiyuv for Purim �themes �
So, we checked and we checked all Arba Turim
Nope, no chiyuv beyond two ready foods�Yum Yum!
So this year the theme is...
Happy Purim!
From,
The -------Family!

I encourage everyone brazen enough to have NO theme to partake and enjoy this poem.
enjoy and THANKS for your support.
I feel completely liberated.
