I'd imagine you'd have too! Its really beautiful. The whole thing flows really nicely with how the original is set up. I dont however understand how this refers to Lent. Maybe im just not looking deep enough, but I was Catholic for an especially long time and I just cant see the correlation. *waits to be stoned to death*

Interesting idea and creativity. That was a little lacking without the song's music to it. It doesn't match the original rhythm (twelve days of Christmas) does it?? Often it has too many syllables, I think. "a glass of Bailey’s Irish cream"/'three calling birds'?So it was hard to get through. The objects are unique and random, possibly showing your personality ("a porcupine with an irritable bowel"?), but don't point to anything in particular.

Thank you very much, both of you. It wasn't intended to be sung, just to be an entirely random takeoff of the 12 days of christmas. The corrolation between this and Lent is that here you get 40 different presents, and in the REAL Lent, you're supposed to be giving things up.

So kind of an oxymoron. Nice.
You just astound me.

Oh that's deep... So the moral is what? Just to be oxymoronic? I mean I'm not challenging your theme. I want to understand.

Very deep, but still... something.

There is no moral. I merely enjoy being random. I made it about Lent rather than Hanukah(?) or orther multi-day holidays because of the present/give something up theme.

For a person that enjoys being random, your a very well fixated.

Lol, randomness is cool. As is the statement "It adds to my mystique." (which is spelled with a Y, isn't it?)

In certain contexts. As a rule, most of my statements are. Yes, but correcting people's typos outside of their writings lends your position to that of someone minus a life.
