Covered with camels

We anticipated Epiphany in church today. Every year I laugh about the Isaiah reading and being covered in camels, the three gifts brought by wise men... Were there really three? Were they kings? What does a baby do with those gifts?

Anticipation:
People covered with camels,
Wise folk with strange gifts

Camel rides

Yes. This is another morning dream.  I do sometimes wonder about the medications I take.  My beloved and I are home from church today.  He is grading.  I am... well... I am not driving... so I have to be home dreaming about renting camels.  Pretty funny.

This morning the church I attend
Rented a camel
For a week.
The church woman
In charge of camel oversight
Was an unlikely choice.
It was a delight however
To watch her
Introduce the camel
To the congregation.
The camel himself
Was a delight.
Somehow
Someone
Decided this would be good
For Glen Ellyn
A camel in the parking lot
An indulgent camel,
As far as camels go,
An indulgent camel moved
From the lower lot
To the upper lot
All week.
Camel rides.
