12 Days of Marriage (ish)

Saxon Crow

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me an angry red faced court judge
On the second day Christmas my true love gave to me
2 settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge 
On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me three court dates, two settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me four lawyers notes, three court dates, two settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A file for divorce
four lawyers notes, three court dates, two settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me six bills need paying 
A file for divorce
four lawyers notes, three court dates, two settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Seven days to leave home, six bills need paying
A file for divorce
four lawyers notes, three court dates, two settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge
On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eight ways to hate her, seven days to leave home, six bills need paying
A file for divorce
four lawyers notes, three court dates, two settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me nine years of hell
Eight ways to hate her, seven days to leave home, six bills need paying
A file for divorce
four lawyers notes, three court dates, two settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me ten accusations, nine years of hell
Eight ways to hate her, seven days to leave home, six bills need paying
A file for divorce
four lawyers notes, three court dates, two settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge
On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me eleven angry phone calls, ten accusations, nine years of hell
Eight ways to hate her, seven days to leave home, six bills need paying
A file for divorce
four lawyers notes, three court dates, two settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge 
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me 12 weeks 'til freedom, eleven angry phone calls, ten accusations, nine years of hell
Eight ways to hate her, seven days to leave home, six bills need paying
A file for divorce
four lawyers notes, three court dates, two settlement figures and an angry red faced court judge...... 
And all because I said she looked fat in her new dress! Tch women!

        Talk about over reaction lol . It’s never nice to be called fat tho .. or to be criticised ,

        • Saxon Crow

          Just some British irony Rose. Nothing in it.

            We can't win they tell us to agree with all they say and when we do we are still in the wrong. Extremely funny take on a Christmas classic. Thanks for the laugh☺

          • Lorna

            Something is definitely inspiring you SC - whatever it is it is making me laugh out loud.....

          • Paul Bell

            I'm thinking you won't call her fat again. Mind you, the settlement will mean she can afford a personal trainer, though I wouldn't mention that either.

            • Saxon Crow

              Lol. Nice one 🤣

            • dusk arising

              Blimey, anyone who fears the question "does my bum look big in this" will deffo be terrified now.

              Brilliant concept, brilliant execution gotta be in my favourites. Top class writing Saxon well done mate.

            • Coyote

              Literally LOL! Hilariously brilliant🙂
