My Twelve Cats Were Laughing At Me

[Guest guest]

On the first day of Christmas,

When I brought home my tree,

My twelve cats were laughing at me.

On the second day of Christmas,

I saw beneath my tree,

Two mangled garlands and

My twelve cats laughing at me.

On the third day of Christmas,

I saw beneath my tree,

Three missing Wise Men,

Two mangled garlands,

And my twelve cats laughing at me.

On the fourth day of Christmas,

I saw beneath my tree,

Four males a-spraying,

Three missing Wise Men,

Two mangled garlands,

And my twelve cats laughing at me.

On the fifth day of Christmas,

I saw beneath my tree,

Five shredded gifts,

Four males a-spraying,

Three missing Wise Men,

Two mangled garlands and,

My twelve cats laughing at me.

On the sixth day of Christmas,

I saw beneath my tree,

Six fallen angels,

Five shredded gifts,

Four males a-spraying,

Three missing Wise Men,

Two mangled garlands,

And my twelve cats laughing at me.

On the seventh day of Christmas,

I saw beneath my tree,

Seven half-dead rodents,

Six fallen angels,

Five shredded gifts,

Four males a-spraying,

Three missing Wise Men,

Two mangled garlands and,

My twelve cats laughing at me.

On the eighth day of Christmas,

I saw beneath my tree,

Eight shattered ornaments,

Seven half-dead rodents,

Six fallen angels,

Five shredded gifts,

Four males a-spraying,

Three missing Wise Men,

Two mangled garlands and,

My twelve cats laughing at me.

On the ninth day of Christmas,

I saw beneath my tree,

Nine chewed-through light strings,

Eight shattered ornaments,

Seven half-dead rodents,

Six fallen angels,

Five shredded gifts,

Four males a-spraying,

Three missing Wise Men,

Two mangled garlands and,

My twelve cats laughing at me.

On the tenth day of Christmas,

I saw beneath my tree,

Ten tinsel hairballs,

Nine chewed-through light strings,

Eight shattered ornaments,

Seven half-dead rodents,

Six fallen angels,

Five shredded gifts,

Four males a-spraying,

Three missing Wise Men,

Two mangled garlands,

And my twelve cats laughing at me.

On the eleventh day of Christmas,

I saw beneath my tree,

Eleven broken branches,

Ten tinsel hairballs,

Nine chewed-through light strings,

Eight shattered ornaments,

Seven half-dead rodents,

Six fallen angels,

Five shredded gifts,

Four males a-spraying,

Three missing Wise Men,

Two mangled garlands and,

My twelve cats laughing at me.

On the twelfth day of Christmas I looked at my poor tree

Twelve cats a-climbing

Eleven broken branches

Ten tinsel hairballs

Nine chewed-through light strings

Eight shattered ornaments

Seven half-dead rodents

Six fallen angels

Five shredded gifts

Four males a-spraying

Three missing Wise Men

Two mangled garlands

and my twelve cats laughing at me!

p.s. Merry Christmas to all you cat lovers! I personally prefer my

Chihuahua, who has plenty of cat-itude but is still fiercely canine

(in his mind anyway)
