Ten fingers
left and right palm pig squeezing a thief’s prayer merry

One finger
covetously dipped in the pie hole green apple gouging

Nine fingers
raven cloaked in vulture reaper robes condor circling

Two fingers 
giving the universal sign of double cross peace

Eight fingers 
talking black market side deal shogun spidery

Three fingers
got a pirate hook grip anchored in the purse sea

Seven fingers
be flagpole nose lying king Nero pose wannabes

Four fingers
preying mantis quotes holding the predator smile idoly

Six fingers
covered in silver serpentine tongue saliva oozing sticky

Five fingers
richly shaking down poor nations through debt slavery

Zero thumbs up
sell those Judas war coin lovers on the submarine ferry

Perfect holiday fare! Better than that old, tired "12 Days of Christmas" any day of the week. LOL. Keep at it, my finger-trigger friend. :) gw

Fascinating piece, RomWar, as always. Multilple reads to get the truest sense of it. Great write.
