Not Three, Not Wise, Not Men

The members of the church council concur
-- the three kings weren't all men, nor three, nor wise.
But what about their gifts? Those reek of guys!
What woman would bring gold? Frankincense? Myrrh?

If one had been a woman, perhaps two,
would they not have brought things like bath salts, soaps,
a terry cotton blanket, toys on ropes,
fresh lillies of the valley, or shampoo?

Of course they would. There simply is no doubt.
I'm writing to the councilright away.
I hope the priest that deals with it is gay,
a rebel choirmaster with some clout.

Gold, frankincense, and myrrh? That just can't be.
Some nappies, small blue jammies, and potpourri.
