The Darkei Moshe in O.C. 695:1 cites various interpretations of what it means to be inebriated enough to not know "בין ארור המן לברוך מרדכי." One of the opinions that he cites is that there was an old piyut in which the end of each stitch alternated between ארור המן and ברוך מרדכי, and it was hard to keep track of. They would drink until they were unable to keep track of which was the ארור המן and which was the ברוך מרדכי stitch.
Are the words of this piyut known? Can I find it somewhere?
