Twelve Days of Christmas

A Puppy's Twelve Days of Christmas
by Elise Lewis 1997 

On the first day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
The Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the second day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
Two leaking bubble lights 
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the third day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
Three punctured ornaments 
Two leaking bubble lights 
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the fourth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
Four broken window candles 
Three punctured ornaments 
Two leaking bubble lights 
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the fifth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
Five chewed-up stockings 
Four broken window candles 
Three punctured ornaments 
Two leaking bubble lights 
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the sixth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
Six yards of soggy ribbon 
Five chewed-up stockings 
Four broken window candles 
Three punctured ornaments 
Two leaking bubble lights 
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the seventh day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
Seven scraps of wrapping paper 
Six yards of soggy ribbon 
Five chewed-up stockings 
Four broken window candles 
Three punctured ornaments 
Two leaking bubble lights 
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the eighth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
Eight tiny reindeer fragments 
Seven scraps of wrapping paper 
Six yards of soggy ribbon 
Five chewed-up stockings 
Four broken window candles 
Three punctured ornaments 
Two leaking bubble lights 
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the ninth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
My wreath in nine pieces 
Eight tiny reindeer fragments 
Seven scraps of wrapping paper 
Six yards of soggy ribbon 
Five chewed-up stockings 
Four broken window candles 
Three punctured ornaments 
Two leaking bubble lights 
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the tenth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
Ten Christmas cards I shoulda mailed 
My wreath in nine pieces 
Eight tiny reindeer fragments 
Seven scraps of wrapping paper 
Six yards of soggy ribbon 
Five chewed-up stockings 
Four broken window candles 
Three punctured ornaments 
Two leaking bubble lights 
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the eleventh day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
Eleven unwrapped presents 
Ten Christmas cards I shoulda mailed 
My wreath in nine pieces 
Eight tiny reindeer fragments 
Seven scraps of wrapping paper 
Six yards of soggy ribbon 
Five chewed-up stockings 
Four broken window candles 
Three punctured ornaments 
Two leaking bubble lights 
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree. 

On the twelfth day of Christmas my puppy gave to me 
A dozen puppy kisses And I forgot about the other eleven days.
