DUNK ME: ANOINT ME

Dunk me in the water,
Spill it over my head.
Cleanse my hands, one by one,
Pour water three times over each hand,
To soothe the red.

Take water and cleanse my feet,

Anoint me.
Tickle my toes with perfumed lotions,
Massage my heels and soften the calluses,
So I can pretend I am a princess who lives in palaces.

Flow water through my teeth,

Whiten them with abrasive brushing.
Then pour spicy mouthwash passed my dry lips,
And I will gargle and come to grips.

Wrap me in clean dry clothing,

My sackcloth I have removed.
Warm the cloth on top of a radiator,
So I can win the battle of a gladiator.
Cover my war-torn skin,
So I can sit respectfully next to my kin.

Take me to a Shul,
Help me to be comfy and on a hot day to be cool.

Sit, bow and then stand with me during the Amidah,
And later I will join you for the Havdalah.

Let us listen to the Torah Study,

Answer my 4 questions and be my buddy.
We will go home with increased peace after praying,
And teach the people what God is saying.
