They died and that’s natural selection

On this day of joy
to us came a little boy,
wise men from the east
shepherds from their camp site feast.
Oh! And our son named Roy.

the star shine   
the wise men                     
the worship                     

the manger 
the mother
the child

the new born
the new king
the new hope

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?”

Kings ask of wise men while
Kids can see simple truth
Kensho shows suddenly
Keeping students up late
Knocking loudly the door
Knowledge comes in silence
Kindness will answer all

Premium Member Through Other People's Eyes

If only everyone
Could see themselves
Through other people’s eyes,
For wise men who don’t know
That they are wise,
Are fools,
Whereas fools who know 
That they are fools,
Are wise!

Premium Member Three Wise Men Walk Out of a Bar

Three “Wise” Men “walk” out of a bar.

“Where’d we park the camels?”
“I gotta get some of those magic shells.”
“Weren’t there four of us when we went in?”

Cherish Your Pockets

Crimson king of freedom
Wise men, fill your coffers with gold
Decorate your crucifixion with diamonds
The sight of sacrifice ordained with sin
Vanity raging rampant

Oh What a Night

Shepherds traveled, their only  map a star.
The Angels gave a concert from above.
Wise Men came bearing gifts, to the Christ Child.
God's gift to mankind. Born in a manger, sweet gift of Love.

Wise Christmas

The Wise Men followed the bright star,
On camels from a land afar,
They forgot their gifts,
And to avoid rifts,
Detoured to the local bazaar

Neither irony nor rhyme were ever a crime,
But wit, if a fit, can be, I submit (sometime).

Which weapons (or tools) employed by wise men (or fools) 
Are OK to use?  Don’t ask me - I don’t make the rules.

Following One Shining Star

Three wise men from lands afar,
Were following one shining star
Hoping to find the newborn King,
That the Prophecy said would bring
Peace and hope for all who believe,
Cause Christ's love is sacred to receive

Wise Men Had Been Following

Wise Men Had Been Following

Wise Men had been following a bright star;
Distance they had been traveling was far
And in the night,
Should turn right;
With their camels they did start to spar.

Just a Note : Wise Men 5

. Men with pretentious brains should use their knowledge wisely . By ridiculing others , they make nothing of themselves other than unworthy fools.

Searching For a King

Following one bright, shining star,
Three wise men traveled from lands afar
They were searching for a king,
And each had a special gift to bring
They found him in a manger bed of hay,
Baby Jesus, born this sacred day

Exclusive wise men merely elect the poetry road. On a mysterious slate, visionaries upload. They scarcely observe chalk fixed to class desks. His odd name is etched with crucial specks.
