my enemy gave to me

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my enemy gave to me Twelve upset tummies gurgling Eleven spoiled milk cartons curdling Ten missed opportunities to achieve Nine judges who refused my reprieve Eight frustrations and barriers Seven Covid-19 carriers Six casseroles with a bad smell Five empty packs of Pall Mall Four creepy sashes Three worn out lashes Two cobras who attacked me, And a grizzly bear in a honey tree.
