I hope that your holidays fall somewhere in between "Christmas in Connecticut" On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me; Twelve more months of therapy Eleven weeks at Betty Ford Ten tennis lessons A nanny from Londonderry A maid from Uganda Seven days in Bangkok A gardener from Korea A five carat ring Four opera tickets Matching Ostrich luggage Two polo ponies And a brand new S.U.V. and "Christmas on the Corner" On da twelb day ob Critmiss my babydaddy gib to me; A twelb peese box a chikken Lebben rocks a crack Ten pack a Newport Sum dat gonnoreeya Aight Biggame tikkit Sem pints o' Vokka Sik malt likkers Fi' day ol’ donuts Fo’ books ob foo stamp Free bruse rib Two black eye An a cab ride to da clinic |

Wranx, I will be snickering about this all day long. Oh my, oh my, oh my..... Very, very good.. Fun to read aloud. To clarify, amused not because of content so much, which I'm sure is accurate, but, your ~ability~ to mimic so well. Talented, you are. Warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (12-20-2002 12:40 PM).] |

You say you hope that our 12 days of Christmas fall somewhere in between? ---okay! I'll take six of one!--and then I'll take half a dozen of the other! Enjoyed reading this Ed! Mind you, I was beginning to have a headache and my vision was fading as I neared da en da yer pome...lol ~ May the joys and good will of this holiday season be with you throughout the coming new year!
