You poor bastard... I guess you'll be catching Covid next.
This is extremely entertaining, very extreme. It took me a while to work out what a 'pink slip' is in US - a notice of job termination. In New Zealand it would be a woman's pink petticoat undergarment - now that would be rather confusing for a man to receive from his boss!

I'd like to hear you sing this one. A funny satire on a bad December. It's felt that way to many people this year. I hope you're only joking. Merry Christmas!

    Thanks for reading. This does seem quite stressful, but I've actually had a blown head gasket, so I know about them. Thanks again.

It's a bit bawdy, but pretty funny and I think its a great use of the archaic song to produce some levity in this different Christmas. The use of the traditional song set to the contemporary lyrics makes it all the more funny. I really liked the blown head gasket, the divorce papers, and the unpaid bills, and the ever repeating refrain of the pink slip hanging in the tree nailed it home. We need a good laugh this year, and this provides it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! estory

Poor guy! Things appear to be very bleak in the season of merrymaking! Cheer up! Just kidding! I enjoyed reading this with a broad smile on my lips! This is the season for the families to meet and express love for one another and live up to the spirit of Christmas. Good luck in the contest! Merry Christmas!

Hey, I realize you have to deal with most of these things, BUT you should forget about those squirrels and that ex-wife's long list! LOL! Seriously, this piece is VERY creative and well-written. Great parody

A very well-written poem about the twelve days f Christmas that turns out to be a disastrous time that no one will easily be cured from in the nearby future.

I am laughing here. I think you captured all the bad stuff that can happen to one individual. I love the pink slip hanging up on the tree, it started the downslide. Excellent poetic form and a humorous parody. Best wishes for the contest.
