The 12 Days Of Christmas: (Alternative Version)

Rating: 5.0


For the plonker in the pear tree:

(Verse 1)
On the first day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
A beer can that was empty.

[Verse 2]
On the second day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Two dirty gloves, and
A beer can that was empty

[Verse 3]
On the third day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Three poisoned pens,
Two dirty gloves and
A beer can that was empty,

[Verse 4]
On the fourth day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Four drunken 'birds',
Three poisoned pens,
Two dirty gloves and
A beer can that was empty.

[Verse 5]
On the fifth day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Five stolen rings,
Four drunken 'birds',
Three poisoned pens,
Two dirty gloves and
A beer can that was empty.

[Verse 6]
On the sixth day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Six chavs: all grinning,
Five stolen rings,
Four drunken ' birds,
Three poisoned pens,
Two dirty gloves, and
A beer can that was empty.

[Verse 7]
On the seventh day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Seven fraudsters plotting,
Six chavs: all grinning,
Five stolen rings,
Four drunken 'birds',
Three poisoned pens,
Two dirty gloves and
A beer can that was empty.

[Verse 8]
On the eighth day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Eight morons mumbling,
Seven fraudsters plotting,
Six chavs: all grinning,
Five stolen rings,
Four drunken 'birds',
Three poisoned pens,
Two dirty gloves and
A beer can that was empty.

[Verse 9]
On the ninth day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Nine slappers dancing,
Eight morons mumbling,
Seven fraudsters plotting,
Six chavs; all grinning,
Five stolen rings,
Four drunken 'birds',
Three poisoned pens,
Two dirty gloves and
A beer can that was empty.


[Verse 10]
On the tenth day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Ten thugs: all fighting,
Nine slappers dancing,
Eight morons mumbling,
Seven fraudsters planning,
Six chavs: all grinning,
Five stolen rings,
Four drunken 'birds',
Three poisoned pens,
Two dirty gloves and
A beer can that was empty.

(Verse 11)
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Eleven crack smoking pipers,
Ten thugs: all fighting,
Nine slappers dancing,
Eight morons mumbling,
Seven fraudsters plotting,
Six chavs: all grinning,
Five stolen rings,
Four drunken 'birds',
Three poisoned pens,
Two dirty gloves and
A beer can that was empty.

[Verse 12]
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my worst foe sent to me
Twelve twockers twocking,
Eleven crack smoking pipers,
Ten thugs: all fighting,
Nine slappers dancing,
Eight morons mumbling,
Seven fraudsters plotting,
Six chavs: all grinning,
Five stolen rings
Four drunken 'birds'
Three poisoned pens,
Two dirty gloves and
A beer can that was empty.

It's god to revisit and reread something humorous, Something from poetry's left field, Something a little bit different, And something most enjoyable. A full score and thanks again my friend for something imaginative and quirky.

Superb! Great humour displayed and very, very inventive. Great imagination at work. Thank you Dominic and five (not stolen rings) stars. And your worst foe is not the kind of person to rub up the wrong way. Still, your worst foe is clearly thinking about you this Christmas and it's the thought that counts. You have to credit him for that and being not exactly stingy bestowing his generosity, He's hardly Scrooge!

Hi again Shaun...just listening to the automated voice reading my poem in its typical, monontonous manner without any sense of nuance or feeling. It's hilarious, though obviously unintentional!

Thanks Shaun much appreciated...I knew you would get the humour of the piece. I thought it would be fun to subvert the jolly old, traditional version of the song...right up my street, so to nspeak!
