We Three Kings<br />
We three kings from Orient hail!<br />
Bearing gifts we travel o’er vales:<br />
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,<br />
Following the Wilson Trail.<br />
Good King Li Ka-Shing: A Takeaway Turkey Parable<br />
Good King Li Ka-shing looked out<br />
On the feast of Christmas<br />
Boozy expats lay about<br />
Drunk and nude and listless<br />
Brightly shone the moon that night<br />
Through the harbor murky<br />
When a poor man came in sight<br />
Looking for a turkey...<br />
“Secretary, stand by me<br />
If thou know’st it, telling<br />
Yonder expat, who is he<br />
What can he be selling”<br />
“Sir, he teaches at a school<br />
Down by Sha Tin way<br />
He just wants a bite or two<br />
To eat on Christmas day.”<br />
“Let us get him turkey fine<br />
Gifting him the stuffing<br />
Thou and I will see him dine:<br />
It’ll cost him nothing.”<br />
Page and tycoon made their way<br />
Climbed into their Alphard<br />
To restaurants with takeaway<br />
They put it on the black card…<br />
Main Street Deli first of all<br />
Its menu filled to bursting<br />
CitySuper’s birds, though small,<br />
Have foie and chestnut stuffing<br />
Great Food Hall has turkeys fine<br />
and Max Concepts—and that<br />
Invisible Kitchen hides<br />
’Taters cooked in duck fat...<br />
So Li Ka-shing and PA both<br />
Chauffeured the meals to Sha Tin<br />
Where the poor man sat with broth<br />
Bubbling in a cauldron<br />
“We’ve brought you Christmas meals<br />
for free!<br />
This proves I have a soft spot!”<br />
“I wish you hadn’t, Mr. Li—<br />
I’m sitting down for hot pot...”<br />
