My Twelve Days of Christmas
A Parody
On the 1st day of Christmas an old flame sent to me
A text that said “I’m having your baby”
On the 2nd day of Christmas my ex received from me
A text that said “There’s no way this can be”
On the 3rd day of Christmas this vixen said to me
“You won’t be getting off that easily”
On the 4th day of Christmas again she heard from me
“Is this because I won the lottery”
On the 5th day of Christmas she answered honestly
“Yes and now you’ll see I wasn’t free”
On the 6th day of Christmas I answered forcefully
“I’m confused by this impossibility”
On the 7th day of Christmas she told me angrily
“There ain’t no way you’re skipping out on me”
On the 8th day of Christmas I told her, “Now I see
Your only interest is financially”
On the 9th day of Christmas she used profanity
“You sorry (bleep) you’re gonna marry me”
On the 10th day of Christmas it’s now just misery
“I’m not the father, just you wait and see”
On the 11th day of Christmas she finally asked of me
“Why won’t you be my rich baby daddy”
On the 12th day of Christmas a final word from me
“Cos for fifteen months I’ve been in Sicily”
On the 11th day of Christmas she finally asked of me
“So why aren’t you my baby’s rich daddy”
On the 12th day of Christmas a final word from me
“Cos for fifteen months I’ve been in Sicily”

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
