THREE WISE ONES Reprised

 

The three wise men

Travelled for days before reaching Bethlehem

And arrived after the birth

They stood and viewed the scene in awe

And knelt reverently in the lords presence

Then gave their gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh

 

The three wise women

Would have stopped to ask directions

And arrived before the birth

They would have delivered the baby

Then they would have cleaned the stable and cooked a meal

Before giving the baby really useful gifts

 

The three wise women

Leaving Bethlehem would be heard to say

“A virgin not likely, I know the family”

“That baby looks more like the shepherd than Joseph”

“Only a drama queen would choose to give birth in a stable”

“That Joseph is on the social you know”

“Well a lift home would have been nice”

“That angel was really snooty”
