Xmas Carol

I loved highschool choir for the most part. We had this wonderful tiny
little insanely cool man wrapped up in a dorky package. Mr. Quaid had
these kids from Cy-Fair signing slave spirituals and gospel music. We did
recycle some of the same songs for the winter holiday program each year,
but some of them were cute. I like the Jazzy Santa Clause is coming to
town and find it hard to sing that song with out breaking out into that
version. We did an amusing answer to "The Twelve Days of
Christmas"

The Twelve Days After Christmas

Frederick Silver

Loosely Based On
The Twelve Days of Christmas

The first day after
Christmas my true love and I had a fight
And so I chopped the pear
tree down and burned 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

The
third day after Christmas, my mother caught the croup;
I had to use
the three Frech hens to make some chicken soup
The four calling birds
were a big mistake,
for their language was obscene
The five gold
rings were completely fake and they turned my fingers green

The
sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn't lay
I gave
the whole darn gaggle to the A.S.P.C.A.
On the seventh day what a
mess I found
All seven of the swimming swans 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 pipers piping,
Ten ladies dancing, 'leven lords a
leaping,
Twelve drummers drumming 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!"
