On the 12th day of December

[Richard Brekne]

Exactomundo... that that goes for all subsequent days henceforth 
really.  Some great ideas conceptually out there... mice have been 
suggested a few times... but how to use them.. 13 mice a munching ???... 
grin.  well .. you get my drift.

As for day one.. It would be cool if we could somehow rhyme with the 
original "Partridge in a pear tree" and still keep the meter and stay 
relevant to this wreck.  Maybe  something using the word "Parcel" ?...   
"A Parcel of verdigris cheer"   :)...  well we can work on it.

Cheers

    It's all about the meter, and whether its getting repeated at the end of
    every stanza would add to the general good humor of the thing...
    something
    along these lines? (all possible candidates for Day 1)

    ...and A fallboard that wouldn't stay up
    ...and A cracked bridge with very loose pins
    ...and A dead killer octave as well
