My Soap Box

Above all the racket there came a knock on the door. I was afraid to open it, but one of the Lords leapt up and swung the door wide. There they were, eleven pipers piping. You may be picturing guys with pan flutes, piccolos and the like but no, they were accompanied by the skirling of bagpipes! Not... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogger admits serious error in spurious spoof! Yes, I had not done my research and so I have nine Lords-a-leaping when it should have been nine ladies dancing. Pardon my faux pas. All you have to do is imagine that on the 10 th day your true love sent to you 10 Lords-a leaping, transpose that to... Sign in to see full entry.

Why does Telly seem to be the only person that can remember her son? All memories seem to be wiped out. Newspaper articles gone and her psychiatrist tells her she is delusional.

Nine frigging Lords a leaping? Pandemonium reigns supreme as they mostly try to jump the milking maids. They claim to be trying out for the Olympics specializing in the pole vault and high jump.

Six geese a-laying. That’s what my true love sent to me. But they’re not producing any eggs, they are just laying around watching soap operas on television.

Let’s see, with five rings how could she possibly use them all? Well, I suppose she could wear one on one digit of each... Sign in to see full entry.

The fourth day of Holiday Season and my true love has bestowed upon me four calling birds. Four calling birds? Calling whom? Do they have a family plan or something? Doesn’t that mean four British girls (birds) talking on their cell phones? Do tell! Four girls might be most men’s dream, but think of... Sign in to see full entry.

Trois Franscais er, well, hens I guess. I don’t know the French word for hens, but then I don’t really have to since I don’t live in Frenchland. And why three French hens? Oh yeah, third day follows the progression. So how do you know if they are French hens ansyway? Do they spit on everything,... Sign in to see full entry.
