Unwanted Gifts (A Nativity Poem)
Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2014 6:31 pm
The kings had journeyed very far
With presents rather glib
Aboard the latest camel car
To reach the baby's crib
One king brought a gift of mair
Alas, he couldn't spellit
But Mary broke wind in the air
And Jesus couldn't smell it
The second king brought Frankincense
A kind of foreign potion
But Mary used a local fence
To trade for wipes and lotion
The final king had brought some gold
Nine carat; duty free
Which Mary sneaked away and sold
Then bought Play Station 3
These days she'd have took them all
And thence without delay
Have started her own market stall
Or sold them on Ebay

With presents rather glib

To reach the baby's crib
One king brought a gift of mair
Alas, he couldn't spellit
But Mary broke wind in the air
And Jesus couldn't smell it
The second king brought Frankincense
A kind of foreign potion
But Mary used a local fence
To trade for wipes and lotion
The final king had brought some gold

Which Mary sneaked away and sold
Then bought Play Station 3
These days she'd have took them all
And thence without delay
