12 Beers of Christmas

Did you ever just get into the “feeling” and need to quickly write something down before you forgot? The Christmas spirit jumped into my body after spending half a day in New England shoveling snow out of my walk way. This is the third or fourth storm and we’re really into the “Christmas Spirit” now.

In honor of the season I decided to draw up a bit of joy out of the pain in my arms and bring about the holiday with a clink of beer bottles. In other words, I wrote a poem to mimic that of ’12 Days of Christmas’ but with beer instead.

Enjoy.
