Three Very Wise Guys Indeed

A boy King was born in Bethlehem piquing the interest of three very wise guys. They came from the East guided by a mysterious Star streaming from the skies! They got a fix on the Star with their GPS and with AAA aid, planned their route, To make the trek to that unlikely place to see what the hoopla was all about! They mounted their royal camels named Chrysler, Lincoln and Cadillax. (Lesser breeds named Chevy, Honda, Kia and VW toted MREs and packs!) Reservations were made to stay at Oases Embassy Suites along the way, Ensuring they provided swimming pools and golf courses on which to play! They took along a generous supply of gold, frankincense and myrrh, And platoons of Green Berets as guards should any funny stuff occur! Their route took them o'er mount and vale and through dunes of shifting sand. Sans their GPS and I-pods they would've become lost in that desolate land! As they neared Bethlehem, they enquired, "Where is this King of the Jews?" They were told, "Take a left on Palm Mews, then a right to Holy Mews! There you'll find Him wrapped in swaddling cloths in a modest shed. There was no room for Him at Holiday Inn so He was born there instead!" They paid their respects and presented their gifts as they knelt in adoration. Learning in a dream of Herod's plan, they high-tailed it East in a new direction! Herod tried to find where the sweet Babe lay and his innocent life destroy, But he lived to become King of Kings regardless of Herod's nefarious ploy! Robert L.

This is probably the way St. Matthew would have described it all if he were alive today and writing his Gospel. Another great Christmas poem Bob.

Okay, Bob...only one problem with this poem...if they drove in cars to follow the Christ Star, they would have off the time table and changed the rest of history...ha ha ha ha...Mika loved the Holiday Inn references in this festive write....Fun fun stuff here, Bob. Just grand...THIS should go in your first Hallmark card! All His best to you, LOve, Gwendolen ps..another creative twist,,,,I will sell the idea to ya for Frankincense and some of that myrrh...the Israelites in the dessert for 40 years...loan em your GPS too...a lot of suffering would have been eliminated too.
