My 12 Days of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me… A puppy that wouldn’t stop peeing on my tree. On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Two Turtle Doves who dropped a load, as I looked up in the tree. On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Three little kittens that my puppy, chased up daily into the tree. On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Four sets of ornaments to replace, those destroyed by kittens in the tree. On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Five different promises that he would again, put up, The Silly Tree. On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Six strands of lights to replace those chewed on, by my little puppy. On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Seven hugs and kisses, so I’d PLEASE forget, about the Blooming Tree. On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Eight Trolls a milking, chasing cows thru all my hedgerow shrubbery. On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Nine Trolls a dancing, that all fell on, my once beautiful garden fencing. On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Ten Trolls a leaping, as Caroling candles, burned down into their hands. On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Eleven Trolls a smiling and ready to rebuild my burned down front porch. On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Twelve Trolls a hammering and a nice big bottle of Tylenol… just for me… Plus the happy thought, I’d survived a Christmas gift, planned with love… just for me. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and best wishes for twelve days of Christmas joy. Written 12-18-2012

Carol, this is one of the very best I have seen in this category. GREAT creativity play!! I did one for later but not as good as this one. And mine is better to be sung backwards starting with the twelfth day of christmas going backwards to day one!
