Just be glad I'm not the one writing them

There's an old Christmas card in our house. It has a black and white photo of three grinning kittens, with crowns drawn on their heads and the caption "The Three Wise Kitties." In addition, each one has a speech balloon. From left to right: "I brought gold!" "I brought frankincense!" "I brought catnip!" Every time I see it, I lament the lost opportunity in the third balloon. I think it would have been much better if the third kittie had brought pyrrh instead.
