On the first day of Xmas, I sent a gift to
you…dyed
"Christmas-Without-You-It's-A"
Blue.
On the second day, another gift (you’re
dared to put it
down!)…dyed
"Let's-Pretend-That-He-Is-Parson"
Brown.
On the third day, a further gift
(one gives because one
can)…dyed
"Tannenbaum-O-Tannenbaum"
Tan.
On the fourth day, one more (I pray my verse has not gone
cold…dyed
"Rings-Six-Geese-A-Laying-Five"
Gold.
On the fifth day, more bounty, some
from eBay, sight un-
seen…dyed
"Sleeves-And-Who-Else-But-My-Lady"
Green.
On the sixth day of Xmas, (do
not open until
Jan.) a gift dyed
"Claus-I-Saw-Mommy-Kissing"
Xan'a.*
* Short for 'Xantha,' with its connotation of 'yellow.'
On the seventh -- you'll adore this
one (at least I hope you
might) -- …dyed
"Christmas-I-Am-Dreaming-Of-A"
White.
On the eighth, again (I hear you
cry: "This guy is quite the
joker!")…dyed
"-Risthmas-Tree-O-Kristhmus-(sic)-Tree"
Ocher.
On the ninth day, a gift you’ll
not, of course, receive a
bill fer…dyed
"Bells-It's-Xmas-In-The-City"
Silver.
On the tenth day, one dyed
by me, right in my kitchen
sink…dyed
"At-Your-Nose-Jack-Frost-Is-Nip-..."
Pink.
On the eleventh (who inaugurates
such nonsense…? No one
knows!)…dyed -- no
lie! -- a "Lo-E'er-Blooming-How-A"
Rose.
On the twelfth day, a
final gifting from the Xmas
Fairy…dyed
"Cheeks-Like-Roses-Nose-Like-A"
Cherry.
And to
all a
hurly-burly,
never
surly, awf'lly early, rarely
churly, string-o’-pearly, none too
curly, heartfelt, surely, "Very
Merry!"
