There once was a Magi called Balthasar,
Who thought he had spotted a death-star.
He said, "Follow the light,
Von Daniken's right,
A spaceship's turned up in Judea.
There once was a Magi called Casper,
Who gazed up at the sky in great wonder.
He cried, "This marvellous thing
Speaks of a great King.
A Jedi in a tie-fighter."
There once was a Magi called Melchior,
Who couldn't believe what he saw.
He packed up a gift,
Gave the others a lift,
"It's the aliens I've always hoped for."
There once was a Magi called Phil.
History has taken against him quite ill;
Right out of the script
His story's been ripped
And no-one has heard of him still.

I plan to, matey. I was just responding to the "Joseph seems to have taken an extended leave of absence."
Anyway, why am I discussing this with a "musical" director?! Where's the real director?
Oy.

Sheep 1 finally plucks up courage to wander out on stage, having spent the last 24 hours lying low due to the various murderous, slanderous and sheep-baiting comments being bandied about by certain cast and audience members. Decides to look for the other sheep, and make sure that Rudolph isn’t joining in any of the sheep games.
Baaaa
Exits stage left.

Summoned by dragonly verse,
to reveal the secrets of the the universe
Darn it, that poetry thing must be contagious
Um, where was I? Oh yes .... the secrets of the universe revealed by the motion of planets through the starry sky.
:cough: :clears throat:
As Jupiter and Saturn enter Pisces I foresee that great things are happening among the people of the Jews. A priest and king is coming among them. And with Pisces entering ascendancy ushering in a new age this coming priestly king will change the whole world.
