This morning I’m wearing the crown from my Christmas cracker. My kids are running around the house singing rude versions of “We Three Kings!” What you ask is the cause of this madness? Today is the Epiphany!
In honor of this most exotic of Christian holidays (How Middle Eastern astrologers announced the birth of the King of the Jews) I could share some profound thoughts from Matthew’s Nativity account but instead I’ll give you a short clip from the movie Hook in which Smee has an epiphany of his own.
Please, please, post a rude version of “We three kings”. I’ve never heard one.
PS – Like the De Po theme
Here’s a version from Liverpool:
We three Kings of Hamilton Square
selling knickers tuppence a pair
quite fantastic no elastic
not very safe to wear
We three kings of orient are trying to smoke a smelly cigar…
We three camels travel afar wishing someone could give us a car…
My kids also learned Jane’s version from their Irish friends.
haven’t visited in a while – i like the new layout.
Thanks Doug and Paul RE the new layout. I was ready for a more text friendly layout. I’m using the tumblr site to explore my postmodern wild side.
