[stylist] a poem

[Judith Bron]

The kids have fun.  Some adults also dress in costumes for the same reason. 
A lot of the older kids also pull off a lot of pranks.  Purim is a fun 
holiday replete with lots of food.  Drinking adult beverages is done by 
some, but it is certainly not mandatory or done by all.
