Twelve Days of Christmas

On the twelfth day of Christmas 
My ex she gave to me
Twelve migraine headaches
Eleven bags of my clothes
Ten pics of her new guy
Nine nasty messages
Eight early morning phone calls
Seven stupid emails
Six  sarcastic compliments
Five ---lawyer ---bills
Four flattened tires
Three kids to feed
Two trips to court
And a divorce to finally free me

I hope not true..If it isn't true, it could be funny..If it is true, I am glad that you have a sense of humor about the situation..Sad that children are in the middle..I hope that all works out for the children's sake..Sara
