i didn't expect much from this

but i think it's terrif.

On the twelfth day of Christmas,

jones_casey sent to me...

Twelve thunderstorms drumming

Eleven encyclopaedias piping

Ten lacks a-leaping

Nine computers daydreaming

Eight parentheticals a-wagering

Seven bibliophiles a-gaming

Six balconies a-macgyvering

Five insi-i-i-ide jokes

Four close readings

Three dissonant harmonies

Two unusual words

...and a lost in a kind cruelty.
