Holy Thursday – Last Supper – Who Set the Table?
Who Set The Table?
Were there women at The Last Supper?
If not, who set the table?
Who laid out the cutlery
The cups and plates?
Who made sure the bitter herbs
Were there as ancestral seasoning
Like the straw of painful memories
With the salted water and the spice?
And the dipped parsley of hope
With the cooked unblemished lamb
Making sure that all was kosher?
Who baked the unleavened bread?
The three matzot of race
Priests, Levites and Israelites
Bound in slavery, united in freedom
And what about the hard-boiled grief-roasted egg?
And who served the wine?
Oh, and who did the wash-up? The lads?
