If there's one tree famous for being the "tree of Adar", it's the gallows [עץ]:
Esther 9:13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows (al ha-etz, עץ).
Haman's tensons: pied pipers!
Maple Syrup season has started. Don't be a sap:
[Frayer] פראייר (slang) A sucker, patsy or sap; one who accedes to all requests, and is easily taken advantage of.
"פראייר is an Israeli slang word that describes a person who allows his exploitation by others. This is a key concept in Israeli society, and the desire not to be a "sucker" is a central motif in Israeli-Sabra life."
What on earth were they doing then, by lining up to get jabbed over and over??! Ouch. Isn't Israel the most COVID-19 boosted up country on the planet? I hope those folks will have a sense of humor about the whole thing. Busted,

"EDOM Convoy":
I 🍁 AM
Exodus 3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the 🍁 is not burnt.
Well I just passed the county line
I'll be home about a-half past nine
See the friends that I once knew
I got a lotta catching up to do.
Have a piece of Mom's apple pie
See the happy tears in her eye
And I'll never more go away
'Cause I'm a-coming back home to stay
Well, I've really been kicked around
Lived it up and I've lived it down
Rode the freights up in Buffalo
Been in jail down in Tupelo.
But with all of my runnin' round
Happiness is just never found
Made up my mind last Saturday
That I'm a-coming back home to stay.
[Chorus]
Well I just passed the county line...
[Instrumental]
When I left I had a lotta dreams
I was really gonna spread my wings
Show the homefolks a thing or two
Show 'em what a country boy could do.
But it didn't take me long to see
The city life was not the life for me
Confidentially, that's okay
'Cause I'm a-coming back home to stay.
I'm Coming Back Home to Stay -
"Dangerous" Don Rich and the Buckaroos on The Buck Owens Show Episode #54 (Jan 23, 1968) -- Purim of the Curtains -- the second song following after Hello Happiness, Goodbye Loneliness.
It's like that previous status-update article about Flight 19 (the one that was 358) -- "Flight 19 for NASA’s Ingenuity is scheduled to take place no earlier than Sunday, Jan. 23".
Made up my mind last Saturday
That I'm a-coming back home to stay.

"SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T BELONG"
Exodus 3.7. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows:
EGYPT, the place where one letter doesn't belong, because it will never ever rhyme with the others.
(That Y is linked to the identity of the people who don't rhyme, in case the... formatting... isn't obvious.)
The God of Abraham not only has impeccable timing, He really has a way with words. People are going to learn to respect.

The Torah begins with a great big bet. The "big house".
There's more than one way to bring down the house. In every theater.

*The God of Abraham finds the best stuff. He gets the last word because just as I added that definition, this song came on. For all the songs that run through, I'd never heard this one before, but now I must add it in:
