Something funny for good night
|
Hi , Krizsty 69 inspired me and I remembered a letter which I use as a follow up after singing the 12 days of Christmas. It is similar kind of humour, but the author is anonymous.
12 Days of Christmas |
December 14th
Dearest John:
I went to the door today and the postman delivered a partridge in a pear tree. What a delightful gift. I couldn�t have been more surprised.
With dearest love and affection, Agnes |
December 15th
Dearest John:
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 |
December 16th
Dear John:
Oh, aren�t you the extravagant one! Now I must protest. I don�t deserve such generosity. Three French hens. They are just darling but I must insist ... you�re just too kind.
Love, Agnes |
December 17th
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 |
December 18th
Dearest John:
What a surprise! Today the postman delivered five golden rings. One for each finger. You�re just impossible, but I love it. Frankly, John, all those squawking birds were beginning to get on my nerves.
All my love, Agnes |
December 19th
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 neighbors are complaining and I can�t sleep through the racket. (hluk) PLEASE STOP!
Cordially, Agnes |
December 20th
John:
What�s with you and those f--king birds???? Seven swans a-swimming. What kind of damn joke is this? There�s bird poop all over the house and they never stop the racket. I�m a nervous wreck and I can�t sleep all night. IT�S NOT FUNNY ....... So stop with those f--king birds.
Sincerely, Agnes |
December 21st
OK You Bastard:
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 own damn cows. There is sh-t all over the lawn and I can�t move in my own house. Just lay off me ! |
December 22nd
Hey Sh-t head:
What are you? Some kind of sadist? Now there�s nine pipers piping. And damn - do they pipe!! They haven�t stopped chasing those maids since they got here yesterday morning. The cows are upset and are stepping all over those screeching birds. No wonder they screech. What am I going to do? The neighbors have started a petition to evict (vypudit)me. You�ll get yours.
From Ag |
December 23rd
You Rotten Pig!
Now there�s ten ladies dancing - and I use the term "ladies" loosely! They�ve been flirting with those nine pipers all night long. Now the cows can�t sleep and they�ve got diarrhea. My living room is a river of sh-t. The landlord of buildings has called me to give cause why the building shouldn�t be pulled down. I�m calling the police on you.
One who means it, Ag |
December 24th
Listen F�k head:
What�s with the eleven lords a-leaping on those maids and beforementioned "ladies"? Some of those broads will never walk again. Those pipers ran through the maids and have been committing ghastly acts with the cows. All 234 of the birds are dead. They have been trampled to death in the orgy. I hope you�re satisfied, you rotten swine.
Your sworn enemy, Miss Agnes McCallister |
December 25th
(From the law offices Taeker, Spredar, and Bangar) Dear Sir: This is to acknowledge your latest gift of twelve drummers drumming, which you have seen fit to inflict on our client, Miss Agnes McCallister. The destruction, of course, was total. All correspondence should come to our attention. If you should attempt to reach Miss McCallister at Happy-Dale Sanitarium, the attendants have instructions to shoot you on sight. With this letter, please find attached a warrant (pr�kaz)for your arrest.

WOWWWWWW.... What a big, big, big MESS. How can anyone turn such a lovely, romantic, tender song into such a hilarious mail business. Now, Renca, today you deserve the first place in our top ten. It�s a pity I can�t use it with my students ( just kids ), so this would be considered very "difficult", but I just loved it and copied the whole "Mess". To Kriszti Well, if you have another piece of art similar to this one, I would appreciate, PLEAAAAAASSSSSEEEE, send it to me, too. You know, I am a little "depressed" , classes are over, I am on holidays, nothing (?) to do, so, I am waiting. Big hugs to both of you. olinda

Olindalima:
I�m relieved to know I�m not the only one who feels depressed. the other teachers today seemed so happy to be finally on vacation!! It�s just that my kids really make my day, and I love teaching :( Cheer up, hopefully the Christmas Spirit will catch up with us soon. |
