Notes About The Poem
For Tania Kitchin's Holiday Humor Limerick Contest

Young Tim Learns About the Magi

When young Tim learned Three Wise Men went far
on their camels to follow a star,
with surprise in his eyes,
he piped up, “They were wise?
So why didn’t they just go by car?”

I have a feeling I read something similar. No worry. Loved the idea. Little ones are often wiser than grown-ups.

Hi Andrea, Perfection itself in a laugh out Limerick. A flawless poem in every respect. Thanks for your recent observations on my poems. In answer to your question weather patterns at the moment are quite unsettled in Ireland, England , Scotland, and Wales, Howard

Andrea, This is a cute one with the innocence and wisdom of a youth today and probably in the past as well. I wonder if there was a whole caravan of them because there was safety in numbers when people traveled back then. Thanks for sharing this one with us. It reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Sara K

Andrea, this is funny and very cute. I think our society will be judged by how much we rely on cars! When we watch a film, for example, it's amazing how many scenes involve car travel. A smart car company might introduce a model called the camel! BTW, apparently George Washington had a camel on his estate in Va. They still have one there.

Absolutely! Imagine how that miracle would have read in the bible. They followed a star -- Taylor Swift, Madonna...oh no! Kids. To think I was one once...hmm. Some would argue I still am. Blessings my friend. Merry Christmas.
