Mary with child

So, I said I am with child and it’s hard to move

And he says no way

And I said yeah way

And he said yeah, I know

And I said how do you know

And he said I just do, but we have to go

And I said go where?

And he said I’m not really sure,

But it’s all getting kind of heavy out there

So, I said I’m the one that’s really heavy

With child and I have to ride a donkey?

And he says yeah

So off we go and I’m getting really sore

But he says the Donkey says

You ain’t heavy you soon to be a mother

I say not yet I’m not

And he says what

And I say are we there yet?

And he says yeah but there ain’t no place in the inn

But don’t worry I have found the perfect crib round the back

So, I said really?

And he said yeah

And I said yuk!

And he says it will be O.K. I will fix it up

So, the baby arrives and I’m sitting in a stable

Surrounded by animals breathing down my neck

And it’s not long before three flush with cash

Guys turn up with an army of lackeys

And the latest sports model water cooled GTI camels

And I’m like wow

And they are like we have come to see the son of God

And they give him gifts of great expense

Saying they were led by a star

Then they leave saying beware of a dude called Herod

Who wants to do my baby harm

Because he’s the man

And I say cool

And they say yah

And that’s how it all began

A fun read, Martin. Gave me a Christmas chuckle.
