IT'S A CRYIN' SHAME
so, here is how this story goes: this workin'-poor carpenter man, non-union, of course, travels with his way-pregnant wife, (lady half his age, I might add) - on a donkey - a Donkey! - couldn't he even get her into a cart, her bein' 'due' and all? Well, he didn't make reservations, so of course they get to sleep with the animals in some little old barn,cuz no one will let them in, tho that lady's belly is huge! His wife births the baby all by herself, cuz I guess no one who hears her in labor gets up to help her. She wraps him in some bitty blankets she brought along, and then has to lay him in the manger where they put the animal feed. I suspect the innkeeper doesn't want to get involved, cuz he doesn't even show up to feed the animals, or he'd see for himself there's a new little kid in the straw!..then some shepherds who believe they heard angels singin' in the night - now what was that about? - come to visit this cold, hungry family, and there's no record they brought a thing to help either. That Kings or Wise Men business that be added add on didn't happened until later in their home town, so that was of no help at the time...no record of any of the ladies in town takin' up a collection for the new baby, or of any innkeeper or just anybody givin' somewheres better to stay. I mean, it was cold out there, and they just had animal breath and so on, to keep a bit warm at all!
Well, there's just no allowin' for some folks...they've just got no sense and all. And if that kid's dad just worked harder, he'd have more money and he wouldn't have got his family in such a fix! I tell you, it's enough to make a good, hard-workin' citizen just scream! Next thing you know, they'll want some handout from the government. Or, we'll have to bring them food and some charity box or somethin'...it's a cryin' shame...just a cryin shame!... I mean: just who do these folks think they are?.....
