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.
