The Blackcountry Man

By brickmaker

Three (loosely speaking) Wise Men....

Mrs Bm and I went to the garden summer house (see Stable) and what did we see there, a small baby wrapped in Swaddling clothes, (rags). The mother swore she was a virgin (not in Brierley Hill) and the angels had told her to come to this Stable (see summer house), where kind people would see her alright. ( I knew I shouldn't have donated to The Sally Army).

Then we were visited by Three Wise Men, (all looking like me), One had Gold (right side), one had Frankincense (left side amd one had Myrrh. (middle)

They saw the virgin and were astonished (as was I), and gave the baby gifts, Gold ( in the form of a Giro, so they always have money), Frankincense (Housing benifit because a stable is no place to rase a baby) and Myrrh (Food tokens, so they never go hungry).

They had followed the star from the East, (Moon in the South )

They were drawn to the Blackcountry and were followed by Shepherds ( see tomorrows installment).
