Thread Name: Lyr Req: 12 Days of Christmas--parody versions
Subject: 12 days of Christmas -My mother said to me
I got this from a recent Portland song circle (which I was not able to attend). DK who wrote the parody, but some of us can probably relate:
12 DAYS HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
On the 1st day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "You've no decent clothes to wear."
On the 2nd day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "You've put on some weight,* and you've no decent clothes to wear."
On the 3rd day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "You should get a job ..."
On the 4th day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "You should visit Grandma ..."
On the 5th day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "No boyfriend yet? ..."
On the 6th day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "You've been smoking marijuana ..."
On the 7th day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "What's that in your suitcase? ..."
On the 8th day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "Are you still on food stamps? ..."
On the 9th day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "Sally's getting married ..."
On the 10th day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "Esther has two children ..."
On the 11th day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "Your life is a disaster! ..."
On the 12th day home for Christmas, my mother said to me: "We will always love you ..."
*I would change this line to "You're way too skinny." That's more in line with what a Jewish (or Italian or Greek, etc.) mother would say.
