 First composed Friday night of the U.S.A. Labor Day weekend, 2010, while walking along Fisherman's Beach, Swampscott, Massachusetts few years ago, after seeing the middle star of Orion's belt, of the constellation Orion, that night (The middle star of Orion's belt is called 'Alnilam' in Arabic and the three stars of Orion's Belt are called often in Germany the Three Kings and in Latin America the Three Marys); and, finished being written at The Cape Cod Room restaurant, of The Drake Hotel, Chicago, Illinois four weeks later.


"WE THREE KINGS OF MONEY ARE"(To the tune of 'We Three Kings of Orient Are', a common Christmastime song)

We three kings of money are
traveling by night we help all afar,
Rosenfield and Linsey and Lansky
following yonder star, ... ar.
Star of wonder, star of night,
star of perfect beauty bright,
westward leading still proceeding,
onward to a perfect light, ... night.

referring to: Alan L. Rosenfield, Joe Linsey and Mr. Lansky
