Three Cluey Blokes
I had wandered a path
and followed a star
traveling northwards
it was quite bizarre
this will inside
was not my own
but something foreign
ill have you know
I finally rested
at a palms broad feet
wiped off my face
the night I did greet
far into the darkness
a stable was lit
then I knew
stars had brought me to this
for a god made flesh
was right there inside
only just born
with Gabriel beside
there on a hill
three men did appear
on camels they traveled
without any fear
Magi had come
to honour the birth
down from their camels
their feet touched the earth
the first of the men
approached in awe
sat down offerings
of gold and myrrh
the third of the gifts
frankincense’s the air
for it was presented
with a humble flair
Gold for the king
of all time
Frankincense’d
priestly he is divine
finally they laid down
the urn of myrrh
for a sacrifice was made
of that I am sure
