The Christmas Pageant

 My daughter was playing Mary,
 Two of my sons were shepherds
 And my youngest son was a wise man.
 This was their moment to shine.
 
My five-year-old shepherd
 Had practiced his line,
 "We found the babe wrapped
 In swaddling clothes." 
 
But he was nervous and said,
 "The baby was wrapped
 In wrinkled clothes." 

My six-year-old "Mary" said,
 "That's not 'wrinkled clothes,' silly.
 They are not wrinkled their swaddled."
 
A wrestling match broke out
 Between Mary and the shepherd
 And was stopped by an angel,
 Who bent her halo and lost
 Her left wing. 
 
I slouched a little lower
 In my seat when Mary
 Dropped the doll representing
 Baby Jesus, and it bounced
 Down the aisle crying,
 "Mama-mama." 

Mary grabbed the doll,
 Wrapped it back up
 And held it tightly as
 The wise men arrived.
 
My other son stepped forward
 Wearing a bathrobe
 And a paper crown,
 Knelt at the manger
 And announced,
 "We are the three wise men,
 And we are bringing gifts
 Of gold,
 Common sense
 And fur."
 
The congregation
 Dissolved into laughter,
 And the pageant
 Got a standing ovation. 
 
"I've never enjoyed a Christmas
 Program as much as this one,"
 Laughed the pastor,
 Wiping tears from his eyes.
 
"For the rest of my life,
 I'll never hear the
 Christmas story without
 Thinking of
 Gold,
 Common sense
 And fur."
 
"My children are my pride
 And my joy and my greatest
 Blessing," I said as I dug
 Through my purse for an aspirin.
 GOD BLESS YOU
ALL!!!
