Have you had enough of the holidays yet? Of course not!! We’re just getting started, right? The food, the drinks, the parties, the Sing-Alongs!!! Yes, yes — the joy, the peace on earth, the good will toward men (and women). Every bit of it makes me happy, happy, happy. And, on top of it all, today’s Happy Friday! So lift your fine voices and sing for this magnificent Holiday Season!!!
On the First Day of Christmas I got a great new listing.
It had a back yard with a mango tree.
On the Second Day of Christmas I discovered that my listing
Had a two car garage
And a back yard with a mango tree.
On the Third Day of Christmas my seller called to say
He had three French doors,
A two car garage
And a back yard with a mango tree.
On the Fourth Day of Christmas my partner pointed out
There were four spacious bedrooms,
Three French doors,
A two car garage
And a back yard with a mango tree.
On the Fifth Day of Christmas I wrote a Herald ad:
Five lines of copy,
Four mis-spelled words,
Three exaggerations,
A two-phrase description
Of the back yard with a mango tree.
On the Sixth Day of Christmas my seller raised his price.
I told him he was crazy.
He said I was lazy.
We fought for three hours.
I said two bad words
And left him in his back yard with the mango tree.
On the Seventh Day of Christmas I was horrified to find
Seven tiles a-broken,
Six dirty windows,
Fiiiiive bathtub riiiinnnngs. . . .
Four calling creditors,
Three cracked counters,
Two old unpaid ad bills,
And a squirrel family in the mango tree!
On the Eighth Day of Christmas my seller dropped his price.
Eight people gave him
Seven reasons why
Six neighboring houses
Spent fiiiive yearrrrrs on the marrrrrrkkkkket!!!!
Four never sold,
Three foreclosed,
Two were still for sale.
And only his had a back yard with a mango tree.
On the Ninth Day of Christmas we planned an Open House.
We ripped up all the carpet,
Got eight windows sparkling,
Unclogged seven sinks,
Replaced six broken tiles,
Scrubbed fiiiiiiive bathtub riiiinnnnngs . . . .
Caulked three counter tops,
Painted two bedrooms,
And moved the squirrel family from the mango tree.
On the Tenth Day of Christmas we held the Open House.
Ten people saw it,
Nine people liked it,
Eight could afford it,
Seven didn’t stay long,
Six loved the bedrooms,
Fiiiive lovvvvved the baaaaaaathrooooooms!
Four said that they’d call,
Three spoke French,
Two slipped out the door
To see the back yard with the mango tree.
On Eleventh Day of Christmas we finally got an offer —
Eleven problems surfaced,
Ten could be solved,
Nine were fairly easy,
Eight took some thinking,
Seven were financial,
Six made me nervous,
Fiiiive requiiiiiired a lawwwwwwyer!
Four were really stupid,
Three were inconsequential,
Two took me by surprise,
And one involved the back yard with the mango tree.
On the Twelfth Day of Christmas we finalized the deal!
Twelve associates gave me
Eleven congratulations.
Ten people kissed me –
Nine got real jealous!
Eight people laughed.
I paid seven ad bills
And blew six hundred dollars on:
Fiiiiive gollllldennnnn riiiiiiings,
A new calling phone,
Three French manicures,
My little turtle dove,
And a pear tree for my own back yard!!
Wow, was that really us? Our fabulosity level is skyrocketting! Let’s meet here later and sing it all over again!!!
