Well I'm back again, this time to post more Saturday Centus 100 word (106 actually) silliness for week 138 of this fun writing meme from the creatively fertile mind of our dear Ms. Jenny Matlock from her blog, off on my tangent.
This week's assignment was to incorporate the six words "On the 13th day of Christmas" into our written pieces, which must be in the style of song lyrics. This week's tardy submission is called:
Crazy About Christmas
On the first day of Christmas
My girlfriend gave to me,
A dead squirrel in a tree.
On the second day of Christmas
I couldn’t believe my eyes
her outstretched palm held
two frozen French fries.
On the ten days that followed
the gifts were just as weird:
three rolls of pennies
four cigarette butts
five grocery bags
six clumps of dirt
Seven cans of beets
Eight stinky socks!
Nine cardboard tubes
Ten used Q-tips
Eleven dryer sheets
And twelve rotten eggs.
On the thirteenth day of Christmas
I’d finally had my fill,
To a psych ward she went
She was clearly mentally ill.
