Thread Name: The Twelve Nights of Christmas
Subject: The Twelve Nights of Christmas
A forgotten gem(?) of my adolescence.
As I'm approaching my dotage I'd like to be reminded of the missing six days. My memory stretches thus far:
On the seventh night of Christmas I took to bed with me Seven sex-starved spinsters Six convicted vicars Five ? Four virgin maids Three French whores Two shithouse doors And my Lord Montague of Beaulieu
I won't be singing it at the folk club, or even whispering it while my daughter is around for Christmas as she is even more ideologically sound than I am, but I'm hoping that if I know the whole of the lyric it will stop it from being a constant earworm that's becoming almost as persistent as my tinnitus.
