On the twelfth day of Christmas
St. Nicholas gave to meeee
Twelve pizza pies
Eleven pigs in a sty...
Ten hooting owls
Nine golden fowls
Eight barking dogs
Seven leaping frogs
Six poets dancing
Five reindeer prancing
Four bottles of rum...
Three sets of drums
Two stinging bees....
And a unicorn just for PD
Joseph May
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love penned for me:
Twelve odes quatrain-ing
Eleven haiku chain-ing
Ten lines dizain-ing
Nine rhymes a'riddling
Eight tongues a’twisting
Seven tyburns burning
Six trifalls falling
Five etherees
Four appalling puns
Three French songs
Two terza rima
And a pantoum
as a parody.
L-et Sunday evening pass,
U-nderneath the black sky;
I-t will take a needed rest,
J-ust to make teardrops dry.
I-t's a beautiful dawn, breaking to warm your heart;
E-arly light shines above, as the dark shadows depart.
M-isty Monday morning
I-s turning lovely and bright;
L-et twelfth day December
A-im to replace the
N-ight.
N-ever let your faith falter
E-ven if the night is blue;
L-et the new dawn break,
L-et the beacon shine on
Y-ou.
P-ouring heavy raindrops
A-re dark, black and gray;
I-nclement clime will fade
N-ovember twelfth day.
A-llow your trust to glow,
G-reat love must not waver;
A-im and hope for sunshine, never let your faith falter.
A-bove there's a shining star,
R-adiance sparkles so bright;
N-ight turns into new day,
E-vening shadows into
L-ight.
V-ile weather turns fine
E-very twelfth day of May;
R-ain has just disappeared,
C-old chill drifts into gray.
E-arly morn has broken,
L-anes are blue up high;
E-ven the dark wants to see
S-hining star in the sky.
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me:
Twelve lotus pinching,
Eleven surgical gauzes,
Ten boxes of advil,
Nine cheating photos,
Eight tissue rolls,
Seven colorful beehives,
Six facebook dislikes
Five red sea snakes,
Four French novels
Three black roses
Two sleeping pills
And a pink round coffin.

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
Carl Fraser
K-ind weather will show up,
A-fter you rise from slumber;
R-aindrops never fall
E-very twelfth day
N-ovember.
R-ugged wind will soften
O-nce the beacon begins to rise;
M-ist and haze will fade
U-nderneath the blue skies.
A-llow your woes to vanish,
L-et your heart feel fine;
D-ark night will pass by,
O-nce the sun starts to shine.
L-ove God with all your heart,
Y-our soul and your mind;
N-ever turn away from Him, He shall never leave you behind.
C-herish God with all your heart,
O-n the twelfth day of May;
N-ever lose your true faith,
D-on't let your love fade away.
E-ver since your life began, the Father's blessings also start;
S-imply because you are chosen, love God with all your heart.
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.
One day in early may
three children at play
mama turned papas way
and said we're drifting away
they'd been together for years
they've shared, shed many tears
but now their end was near
this was papas worst fear
all through their divorce
papas voice was coarse
giving in without much force
half of everything, of course
this day in early May
was papas downfall they say
his heart stopped, their he lay
on the twelfth day
a Tuesday
"12 Days of Christmas Craves"
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
12 twinkling tiaras
Eleven emerald elephants
Ten Tiffany trinkets
Nine naughty negligees
Eight echoing elves
Seven sequined stars
Six sexy singers
Five fake fingernails s s s
Four furry foxes
Three tingling tamborines
Two turtledoves
And peach tree in pail via e-mails s s s.
