Chad gadya – aramaic for one kid (goat) – is a cumulative song that is sang at the end of the passover seder.
You can find the translated lyrics for the original chad gadya here https://pjlibrary.org/getmedia/2b5c15cc-e949-44fd-9435-05134c69e445/Chad-Gadya-Song-Sheet-English.pdf
Someone wrote a version for the corona virus. It gets a bit long but I love the idea of it.
In the Pesach spirit:
Chad gadya.
Chad gadya
There once was a bat who caught a virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw.
Along came a Pangolin who devoured the bat that caught the virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw.
Along came a Chinese man, who ate the pangolin, who devoured the bat that caught the virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw.
Along came an Italian, who shook hands with the Chinese, who ate the pangolin who devoured the bat that had the virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw.
Along came a Frenchie who kissed the Italian, who shook hands with the Chinese, who ate the pangolin who devoured the bat that had the virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw.
Along came a Brit that drank a pint with the Frenchie, who kissed the Italian, who shook hands with the Chinese, who ate the pangolin that devoured the bat that had the virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw.
Along came a American that hugged the Brit that had a pint with the Frenchie who kissed the Italian, who shook hands with the Chinese, who ate the pangolin that devoured the bat that had the virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw.
Along came a long flight with 300 passengers and the American that hugged the Brit that had a pint with the Frenchie who kissed the Italian, who shook hands with the Chinese, who ate the pangolin that devoured the bat that had the virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw.
Along came a Global pandemic that freaked out the whole world including the 300 passengers and the American that hugged the Brit that had a pint with the Frenchie who kissed the Italian, who shook hands with the Chinese, who ate the pangolin that devoured the bat that had the virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw.
Along came a Global Rush on toilet paper and mandated home offices with children homeschooling in a pandemic that freaked out the whole world including the 300 passengers and the American that hugged the Brit that had a pint with the Frenchie who kissed the Italian, who shook hands with the Chinese, who ate the pangolin that devoured the bat that had the virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw.
Along came GOD – The Holy One, Blessed Be He, King of Heaven, Master of the Universe – Who reassured us that family closeness, shared meals, slowing down, being still, grateful and compassionate, and praying together, even if by video, is itself a blessing and exactly what the world needs right now, which calmed the Global Rush on toilet paper in mandated home offices with children homeschooling in a pandemic that freaked out the whole world including the 300 passengers and the American that hugged the Brit that had a pint with the Frenchie who kissed the Italian, who shook hands with the Chinese, who ate the pangolin that devoured the bat that had the virus. Chad gad yaw. Chad gad yaw!

Yes, that is certainly one way to understand the spread of this virus. Yes, we can have some rest days, family days, duvet days! I feel for the key workers though, unrelenting, especially if restocking loo rolls.

I hope we can learn from this chain reaction, like ripples in the water originating from throwing a rock. We need to stop throwing rocks, calm down and stay home. God help us learn. Thank you for sharing.

I loved it 🙂 though I did see the ending coming, coz in chad gadya the end is that along came god. As in, we think others are in control, and it is this, that, or the other, and even if it’s not, there’s a higher power.
I hope you are doing okay…
Take care of yourself
