The 12 Days After Christmas
The 12 Days AFTER Christmas,
The first day after Christmas
My true love and I had a fight
And so I chopped the pear tree down
And burnt it, just for spite
Then with a single cartridge
I shot that blasted partridge
My true love, my true love,
my true love gave to me.
The second day after Christmas
I pulled on the old rubber gloves
And very gently wrung the necks
Of both the turtle doves
My true love, my true love,
my true love gave to me.
On the third day after Christmas
My mother caught the croup
I had to use the three French hens
To make some chicken soup
The four calling birds were a big mistake
For their language was obscene
The five golden rings were completely fake
and turned my fingers green.
The sixth day after Christmas
The six laying geese wouldn't lay
So I sent the whole darn gaggle to the
A.S.P.C.A.
On the seventh day, what a mess I found
The seven swans-a-swimming all had drowned
My true love, my true love,
my true love gave to me.
The eighth day after Christmas
Before they could suspect
I bundled up the
Eight maids-a-milking
Nine ladies dancing Ten lords-a-leaping
Eleven pipers piping
Twelve drummers drumming - well, actually I kept one of the dancing ladies -
And sent them back collect
I wrote my true love
"We are through, love!"
And I said in so many words
"Furthermore your Christmas gifts were for the Birds!" :big_grin:
Well, that's part of what we have known for many years, as long as I can remember 'not exactly', but it wasn't like that at my house! I got my wonderful wife a brand new 2012 Subaru Outback SUV. She wanted one but wouldn't ask me. She has done so, so much for me and my recovery it's the lease I could do at Christmas for her!
I got three more suits I didn't need in my mind but she handles all my clothes so I just say "OK dear!" :happydance:
Wishing all the members here a wonderful New Year with lots of recovery for every survivor and care giver here. Just remember, the first few years are the hardest but it does get better with time, lots of time. I got 8 years and still not out the water yet. Yes our care givers need recovery too, they do get tired and worn out.
Fred!
