On
the Twelve Days of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me
. . .
December
14, 2003
Dearest Dave,
I went to the door today, and the postman delivered a
partridge in a pear tree. This was a delightful gift!
I couldn't have been more surprised or pleased
darling!
With truly the deepest love,
Agnes
December 15, 2003
Dearest Dave,
Today the postman brought me yet another of your sweet
gifts. The two turtule doves that arrived today are
adorable, and I'm delighted by your thoughtful and
generous ways.
With all of my love,
Your Agnes
December 16, 2003
Dearest Dave,
You've truly been too kind! I must protest; I don't
deserve such generosity. The thought of getting three
French hens amazes me. Yet, I am not surprised--what
more should I expect from such a nice person.
Love,
Agnes

Dear Dave,
Four calling birds arrived in the mail today. They are
truly nice but don't you think that enough is enough?
You are being too romantic.
Affectionately,
Agnes
December 18, 2003
Dearest darling Dave,
It was a surprise to get five golden rings! I now have
one for every finger. You truly are impossible
darling, yet oh how I love it! Quite frankly, all of
those squarking birds from the previous days were
starting to get on my nerves. Yet, you managed to come
through with a beautiful valuable gift!
All my love,
Agnes

Dear Dave,
When I opened my door, there were actually six geese
a-laying on my front steps. So you're back to the
birds again, huh? Those geese are dear, but where will
I keep them? The neighbors are complaining, and I am
unable to sleep with all the racket. Please stop dear.
Cordially,
Agnes

Dave,
What is with you and those stupid birds!? Seven swans
a-swimming!! What kind of sick joke is this!!?? There
are bird droppings everywhere! They never shut up, and
I don't get any sleep!!! I'm a nervous wreck! It's not
funny you weirdo, so stop with the birds.
Sincerely,
Agnes
December 21, 2003
O.K. wise guy,
The birds were bad enough. Now what do you expect me
to do with eight maids a-milking? If that's not bad
enough, they had to bring their cows!! The front lawn
was completely ruined by them, and I can't move in my
own house! Just lay off me or you'll be sorry!
Agnes
December 22, 2003
Hey loser,
What are you? You must be some kind of sadist!! Now
there are nine pipers playing, and they certainly do
play! They haven't stopped chasing those maids since
they got here! The cows are getting upset, and they're
stepping all over those screeching birds. The
neighbors are getting up a petition to evict me, and
I'm going out of my mind!
You'll get yours!
Agnes
December 23, 2003
You rotten scum!!!
There are now ten ladies dancing! There is only one
problem with that! They're dancing twenty-four hours a
day all around me with the pipers upsetting the cows
and the maids. The cows can't sleep, and they are
going to the bathroom everywhere! The building
commissioner has subpoenaed me to give cause as to why
the house shouldn't be condemned! I can't even think
of a reason! You creep! I'm sicking the police on you!
One who means it!
December 24, 2003
Listen you evil, sadistic, maniac!
What's with the eleven lords-a-leaping?!? They are
leaping across the rooms breaking everything and even
injuring some of the maids! The place smells, is an
absolute mad house, and is about to be condemned! At
least the birds are quiet; they were trampled to death
by the cows. I hope you are satisfied--you rotten
vicious worthless piece of garbage!
Your sworn enemy,
Agnes

Politically
Correct Santa
'Twas
the night before Christmas and Santa's a wreck...
How to live in a world that's politically correct?
His workers no longer would answer to
"Elves",
"Vertically Challenged" they were calling
themselves.
And labor conditions at the north pole
Were alleged by the union to stifle the soul.
Four reindeer had vanished, without much propriety,
Released to the wilds by the Humane Society.
And equal employment had made it quite clear
That Santa had better not use just reindeer.
So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid,
Were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that looked
stupid!?
The runners had been removed from his sleigh;
The ruts were termed dangerous by the E.P.A.
And people had started to call for the cops
When they heard sled noises on their roof-tops.
Second-hand smoke from his pipe had his workers quite
frightened.
His fur trimmed red suit was called
"Unenlightened."
And to show you the strangeness of life's ebbs and
flows:
Rudolf was suing over unauthorized use of his nose
And had gone on Geraldo, in front of the nation,
Demanding millions in over-due compensation.
So, half of the reindeer were gone; and his wife,
Who suddenly said she'd enough of this life,
Joined a self-help group, packed, and left in a whiz,
Demanding from now on her title was Ms.
And as for the gifts, why, he'd ne'er had a notion
That making a choice could cause so much commotion.
Nothing of leather, nothing of fur,
Which meant nothing for him. And nothing for her.
Nothing that might be construed to pollute.
Nothing to aim. Nothing to shoot.
Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise.
Nothing for just girls. Or just for the boys.
Nothing that claimed to be gender specific.
Nothing that's warlike or non-pacific.
No candy or sweets...they were bad for the tooth.
Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth.
And fairy tales, while not yet forbidden,
Were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden.
For they raised the hackles of those psychological
Who claimed the only good gift was one ecological.
No baseball, no football...someone could get hurt;
Besides, playing sports exposed kids to dirt.
Dolls were said to be sexist, and should be passe;
And Nintendo would rot your entire brain away.
So Santa just stood there, disheveled, perplexed;
He just could not figure out what to do next.
He tried to be merry, tried to be gay,
But you've got to be careful with that word today.
His sack was quite empty, limp to the ground;
Nothing fully acceptable was to be found.
Something special was needed, a gift that he might
Give to all without angering the left or the right.
A gift that would satisfy, with no indecision,
Each group of people, every religion;
Every ethnicity, every hue,
Everyone, everywhere...even you.
So here is that gift, it's price beyond worth...
"May you and your loved ones enjoy peace on
earth."

'Twas
the Night After Christmas.
'Twas
the night after Christmas and all through the trailer,
the beer had gone flat and the pizza was staler. The
tube socks hung empty, no candies or toys and I was
camped out on my old Lay-Z-Boy.
The kids they weren't talking to me or my wife, the
worst Christmas they said they had had in their lives.
My wife couldn't argue and neither could I, so I
watched TV and my wife, she just cried.
When out in the yard the dog started barking', I stood
up and looked and I saw Sheriff Larkin. He yelled,
"Roy I am sworn to uphold the laws and I got a
complaint here from a feller named Claus."
I said, "Claus, I don't know nobody named Claus,
and you ain't taking me in without probable
cause." Then the Sheriff he said, "The man
was shot at last night." I said, "That might
have been me, just what's he look like."
The Sheriff replied, "Well he's a jolly old
feller, with a big beer gut belly, that shakes when he
laughs like a bowl full of jelly. He sports a long
beard, and a nose like a cherry." I said,
"Sheriff that sounds like my wife's sister
Sherri."
"It's no time for jokes Roy" the Sheriff he
said. "The man I'm describing in dressed all in
red. I'm here for the truth now, it's time to come
clean. Tell me what you've done, tell me what you've
seen."
Well I started to lie then I thought what the hell, it
wouldn't have been the first time that I've spent New
Years in jail. I said, "Sheriff it happened last
night about ten, and I thought that my wife had been
drinking again."
When she walked in from work she was as white as a
ghost. I thought maybe she had seen one of them UFO's.
But she said that a bunch of deer had just flown over
her head, and stopped on the roof of our good neighbor
Red.
Well I ran outside to look and the sight made me
shudder, a freezer full of venison standing right on
Red's gutter. Well my hands were a shakin' as I
grabbed my gun, when outta Red's chimney this feller
did run.
And slung on his back was this bag over flowing'. I
thought he stolen Red's stuff while old Red was out
bowling'. So I yelled, "Drop fat boy, hands in
the air!" But he went about his business like he
hadn't a care.
So I popped a warning shot over his head. Well he
dropped that bag and he jumped in that sled. And as he
flew off I heard him extort, "That's assault with
intent Roy, I'll see ya in court."

Twenty
ways to confuse Santa Claus
1.
Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a
note explaining that you think he could stand to lose
a few pounds.
2. While he's in the house, go find his sleigh and
write him a speeding ticket.
3. Leave him a note, explaining that you've gone away
for the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your
plants.
4. While he's in the house, replace all his reindeer
with exact replicas. Then wait and see what happens
when he tries to get them to fly.
5. Keep an angry bull in your living room. If you
think a bull goes crazy when he sees a little red
cape, wait until he sees that big, red Santa suit!
6. Build an army of mean-looking snowmen on the roof,
holding signs that say "We hate Christmas,"
and "Go away Santa."
7. Leave a note by the telephone, telling Santa that
Mrs. Claus called and wanted to remind him to pick up
some milk and a loaf of bread on his way home.
8. Throw a surprise party for Santa when he comes down
the chimney. Refuse to let him leave until the
strippers arrive.
9. While he's in the house, find the sleigh and sit in
it. As soon as he comes back and sees you, tell him
that he shouldn't have missed that last payment, and
take off.
10. Leave a plate filled with cookies and a glass of
milk out, with a note that says, "For The Tooth
Fairy. :)" Leave another plate out with half a
stale cookie and a few drops of skim milk in a dirty
glass with a note that says, "For Santa. :("
11. Take everything out of your house as if it's just
been robbed. When Santa arrives, show up dressed like
a policeman and say, "Well, well. They always
return to the scene of the crime."
12. Leave out a copy of your Christmas list with
last-minute changes and corrections.
13. While he's in the house, cover the top of the
chimney with barbed wire.
14. Leave lots of hunting trophies and guns out where
Santa's sure to see them. Go outside, yell, "Ooh!
Look! A deer! And he's got a red nose!" and fire
a gun.
15. Leave Santa a note, explaining that you've moved.
Include a map with unclear and hard-to-read directions
to your new house.
16. Set a bear trap at the bottom of the chimney. Wait
for Santa to get caught in it, and then explain that
you're sorry, but from a distance, he looked like a
bear.
17. Leave out a Santa suit, with an attached
dry-cleaning bill.
18. Paint "hoof-prints" all over your face
and clothes. While he's in the house, go out on the
roof. When he comes back up, act like you've been
"trampled." Threaten to sue for personal
injury.
19. Instead of ornaments, decorate your tree with
Easter eggs.
20. Dress up like the Easter Bunny. Wait for Santa to
come and then say, "This neighborhood ain't big
enough for the both of us.
