The Twelve Days Of Christmas
December 14, 1972
Dearest John:
I went to the door today and the postman delivered a partridge in a pear tree. What a thoroughly delightful gift. I couldn’t have been more surprised.
With deepest love and devotion,
Agnes

Today the postman brought your very sweet gift. Just imagine two turtle doves. I’m just delighted at your very thoughtful gift. They are just adorable.
All my love,
Agnes

Oh! Aren’t you the extravagant one. Now I really must protest. I don’t deserve such generosity. Three French hens. They are just darling but I must insist, you’ve been too kind.
Love,
Agnes

Dear John:
Today the postman delivered four calling birds. Now really, they are beautiful but don’t you think enough is enough? You’re being too romantic.
Affectionately,
Agnes

Dear John:
What a surprise. Today the postman delivered five golden rings: one for every finger. You’re just impossible, but I love it. Frankly, all those birds squawking were beginning to get on my nerves.
All my love,
Agnes

Dear John:
When I opened the door there were actually six geese a laying on my front steps. So you’re back to the birds again, huh? Those geese are huge. Where will I ever keep them? The neighbours are complaining and I can’t sleep through the racket.
Please stop.
Cordially,
Agnes

John:
What’s with you and those fucking birds? Seven swans a swimming. What kind of a God damn joke is this? There’s bird shit all over the house and they never stop with the racket. I can’t sleep at night and I’m a nervous wreck. It’s not funny so stop with those fucking birds.
Sincerely,
Agnes

Okay Buster:
I think I prefer the birds. What the hell am I going to do with eight maids a milking? It’s not enough with all those birds and eight maids a milking, but they had to bring their God damn cows. There is cow shit all over the lawn and I can’t move in my own house. Just lay off me, smartass.

Hey Shithead:
What are you? Some kind of sadist? Now there’s nine pipers playing. And Christ, do they play. They’ve never stopped chasing those maids since they got here yesterday morning. The cows are getting upset and they’re stomping all over those screeching birds. What am I going to do? The neighbours have started a petition to evict me.
You’ll get yours,
Agnes

You rotten prick:
Now there’s ten ladies dancing. I don’t know why I call those sluts ladies. They’ve been balling those pipers all night long. Now the cows can’t sleep and they’ve got the diarrhoea. My living room is a river of shit. The Commissioner of Buildings has subpoenaed me to show cause why the building shouldn’t be condemned.
I’m siccing the police on you,
One who means it

Listen fuckhead:
What’s with the 11 lords a leaping on those maids and ladies? Some of those broads will never walk again. Those pipers ran through the maids and have been committing sodomy with the cows. All 23 of the birds are dead. They’ve been trampled to death in the orgy. I hope you’re satisfied, you rotten vicious swine.
Your sworn enemy,
Agnes
