Is a question really a question,
If the answer’s clearly shown?
Is an answer truly an answer,
If the question’s already known?
Real questions are important,
Because they show engagement,
Honest answers are essential,
For they avoid estrangement.
Curiosity should be something
Our seder naturally evokes,
With questions unrehearsed,
And unexpected answers spoke.
Perhaps de-emphasize the seudah
That might raise an eye
An empty table but for seder plate
They might just ask you why.
For plagues and open miracles
Are forgotten once revealed
Once our mundane life returns
Our eyes are then resealed.
So focus less upon the details
Of the nissim we were shown
Than the fact that they were done at all
To start our way back home. Dayenu.
