Pere, Fils, l’Esprit…?
Three bigshots in God.

The second’s a word.

Balthazar, too.
Melchior, Caspar
and Balthazar...nu...?
     Balthazar, Caspar
(with Melchior): two

     Shem, Ham and Japheth.
You've known ‘em for years.
Shem, Ham and Japheth:
a shot and two beers.

Like Hines, Hines and Dad,
the one lacking talents
the younger two had.

     Kez,' Keren-, Jemima.
Three daughters of Job.

minstrel-show character,

food brand logo persona

one pipe, two drums.
     Meshach, Abednego...
Shadrach as well.
Notes Nebuchadnezzar,
''You're Jewish...? Do tell!"

     * The Biblical Daniel
