Twelve Days of Penning

On the twelfth day of Christmas, 
My true love penned for me:
Twelve odes quatrain-ing
Eleven haiku chain-ing
Ten lines dizain-ing

Nine rhymes a'riddling
Eight tongues a’twisting
Seven tyburns burning
Six trifalls falling
Five etherees

Four appalling puns
Three French songs
Two terza rima
And a pantoum
as a parody.

Reason, this is one of my favorites on the entire list because you matched your meter of your lines to the original song, and that is important for me in reading a parody of a song. Congrats for making the top ten list. Andrea
