On the twelfth day of Christmas my True Love sent to me...

Twelve noise citations,
Eleven tow trucks towing,
Ten Sharks a-skating,
Nine traffic cops,
Eight buskers busking,
Seven baby possums,
Six Canada geese,

Five live octopuses!

Four tabby cats,
Three hummingbirds,
Two Muscovy ducks,
And an egret in a western red cedar.

“I think I know what he’s going to get for Valentine’s Day this year.”
“Oh yeah? What’s that?”
“Divorce papers!”

“What the...”
“HOA says the police cars were double parked.”
“Geez, those Scrooges would impound Santa’s sleigh.”
“Yeah, they wouldn’t know a reindeer if it ran over them.”

“Well, there goes our chance at the Stanley Cup.”
“On the plus side, you got to see Doug Murray beat up an octopus.”
“He cheated! Officer Lodge distracted it!”

On the ninth day of Christmas my True Love sent to me...


Nine traffic cops,
Eight buskers busking,
Seven baby possums,
Six Canada geese,

Five live octopuses!

Four tabby cats,
Three hummingbirds,
Two Muscovy ducks,

“He says he’s not going to take me in for kidnapping because even with the octopus climbing up his leg it’s still calmer in here than the 680 at rush hour.”

“Is that a...ukulele?”
“Looks that way.”
“Shame she has no idea how to play it.”
