This year I was thinking of doing a galaxy/star/alien theme and my kids will be dressing up something to do with the theme. Can anyone think of a poem and maybe if it somehow connects to the megilla (or cute mishloach manos ideas matching the theme)? This idea is not set, so open to suggestions! Thanks in advance!

There should be a rule. No Purim until after midwinter vacation.
And no even thinking about Pesach until Adar.
Personally I wait a lot longer, but I think this would satisfy even the more geshikt.

Isn't there a Galaxy candy?

Mars bars

You could find a Galaxy phone text template and say something about how Jews are always aliens in other ppl's land

Since I just went to laminate something, and decided as long as I was there I was going to laminate the picture I didn't get done for Succos, I think I can handle this. Let me think....

Connection to the megillah: Am mefuZAR? Zar as in alien, even though the word mefuzar means scattered?

OK, maybe this was so bad that someone reading this will think, I can do better.

My job is done then. Cool

Today we dress up in costumes like ‘aliens’ from ‘Mars’
We drink to ad d’lo yodah, until we are seeing ‘stars’
For happiness and joy we all make ‘space’
As the Jews in our ‘planet’ celebrate an ‘extraterrestrial’ nais
We feel over the ‘moon’ in a Purim’dig way
In our ‘galaxy’ we fulfill the Mitzvos of the day
Enjoy the ‘star’ studded Purim, it passes by so fast
Before you know it we will be going back to earth with a ‘rocket’ blast

thunderstorm, can you give me a good avocado-themed one??? I got as far as 'Av-o simchas purim' and the thought of maybe a short poem that includes that living under haman was the 'pits'... Just ordered my DC's avocado costume this week Laugh

On Purim we celebrate with a fiesta
It’s a hectic day no time for a siesta
Nobody ‘Hass’ time to think
Our minds are all about our next drink
It would be a ‘pit’y not to recall
Why we celebrate this day at all
So when the time is ‘ripe’ let’s all remember
When life was the ‘pits’ for every Jewish member
Haman was ‘green’ with envy and hated the Jews
He tried to ‘peel’ away their dignity, but bowing down Mordechai refused
With a ‘pit’ in her stomache , Esther faced the king
Hashem always ‘Hass’ a plan. What would this one bring?
Achashveirosh yelled “Holy Guacamole” in a s’cream’ing voice
He was angry at Haman, now the Jews could rejoice
The Jews lived happily ‘avo’ after for a while
That’s why today we all wear a happy smile
‘Av-O- Happy Purim’ while you share ‘peels’ of laughter
May the joy of the day last forever after
