Christmas song for Enda

12 Days of Christmastide

An Enda Adaptation of The Twelve Days of Christmas.

On the first day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, a dragpar in a burnt tree.

Dragpars fighting over a broken spoon. No flames yet!

On the second day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

Two loatrons that ran off to get married, Cairn and Bunny.

On the third day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, three popsnakes, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

On the fourth day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, four singing phoenixes, three popsnakes, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

On the fifth day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, five dolphin pins, four singing phoenixes, three popsnakes, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

On the sixth day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, six coblens a-digging, five dolphin pins, four singing phoenixes, three popsnakes, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

A coblen a-digging.

On the seventh day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, seven selkies a-swimming, six coblens a-digging, five dolphin pins, four singing phoenixes, three popsnakes, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

On the eighth day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, eight mermaids a-fighting, seven selkies a-swimming, six coblens a-digging, five dolphin pins, four singing phoenixes, three popsnakes, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

On the ninth day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, nine centaurs dancing, eight mermaids a-fighting, seven selkies a-swimming, six coblens a-digging, five dolphin pins, four singing phoenixes, three popsnakes, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

On the tenth day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, ten pasheen a-stealing, nine centaurs dancing, eight mermaids a-fighting, seven selkies a-swimming, six coblens a-digging, five dolphin pins, four singing phoenixes, three popsnakes, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

On the eleventh day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, eleven minstreleons piping, ten pasheen a-stealing, nine centaurs dancing, eight mermaids a-fighting, seven selkies a-swimming, six coblens a-digging, five dolphin pins, four singing phoenixes, three popsnakes, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

On the twelfth day of Christmastide, my true love sent to me, twelve dragons flying, eleven minstreleons piping, ten pasheen a-stealing, nine centaurs dancing, eight mermaids a-fighting, seven selkies a-swimming, six coblens a-digging, five dolphin pins, four singing phoenixes, three popsnakes, two running loatrons, and a dragpar in a burnt tree.

On the—there is no thirteenth day and that’s good because I need to have a talk with my true love over his insane choice of Christmas gifts! Popsnakes!

Anyway, let’s all sing it together this holiday season. While Grammarly is going crazy underlining all the mythicals in this song see if you can find them in my Tales of Enda. At least eight of them are in Sargon The Not So Great. You’ll have to wait for the other two novels (coming next year) for the rest.

Here’s a hint. You can find the two running loatrons in my short stories The Loatron in the Woods and Fair Trial. One is probably chasing after the other.
