Notes About The Poem

 This poem is inspired by one of my favorite happy songs for Christmas.

Twelfth Day of Christmas

On the twelfth day of Christmas My true love (hubby) sent to me 12 baskets of laundry Eleven dishwashing liquids Ten laundry soaps Nine vacuum cleaners Ten frying pans Nine oven toasters Eight soft brooms Seven kitchen aprons Six sheers for mowing Five hair netsssssssssss Four dustpans Three floor scrubs Two rubber gloves And a pretty nanny for my baby

I do not mean to be grumpy and cranky Leonora ..... But, there could have been a bit more romantic gifts ....... (?) I would trade out nanny to a very sexy gardener .... (small babies sleep both day and night.) * * * * * * * * Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful Christmas, Leonora! - oxox / / Anne-Lise :) * * * * * * * * * *
