A Partridge in a Pear Tree, from Agnes to John!

I found a couple funny little things on www.xmasfun.com, and here's one of them: An updated version of "A Partridge in a Pear Tree".

A Partridge In A Pear Tree
By Ledya Putros

Dearest John:
I went to the door today and the postman delivered a partridge in a pear tree. What a delightful gift. I couldn't have been more surprised.
With dearest love and affection, Agnes

Dearest John:
Today the postman brought your very sweet gift. Just imagine, two turtle doves.... I'm just delighted at your very thoughtful gift. They are just adorable.

All my love, Agnes

Dear John:
Oh, aren't you the extravagant one! Now I must protest. I don't deserve such generosity. Three french hens. They are just darling but I must insist.... you're just too kind.
Love Agnes

Today the postman delivered four calling birds. Now really! They are beautiful, but don't you think enough is enough? You're being too romantic.
Affectionately, Agnes

Dearest John:
What a surprise! Today the postman delivered five golden rings. One for each finger. You're just impossible, but I love it. Frankly, John, all those squawking birds were beginning to get on my nerves.
All my love, Agnes

Dear John:
When I opened the door there were actually six geese-a-laying on my front steps. So you're back to the birds again, huh? Those geese are huge. Where will I ever keep them? The neighbors are complaining and I can't sleep through the racket. PLEASE STOP!
Cordially, Agnes

John:
What's with you and those birds???? Seven swans-a-swimming. What kind of joke is this? There's bird do-do all over the house and they never stop the racket. I'm a nervous wreck and I can't sleep all night. IT'S NOT FUNNY.......So stop with those birds.
Sincerely, Agnes

OK Buster:
I think I prefer the birds. What am I going to do with eight maids-a-milking? It's not enough with all those birds and eight maids-a-milking, but they had to bring their own cows. There is poop all over the lawn and I can't move into my own house. Just lay off me.

Hey:
What are you? Some kind of sadist? Now there's nine pipers playing. And do they play!
They never stopped chasing those maids since they got here yesterday morning. The cows are upset and are stepping all over those screeching birds. No wonder they screech. What am I going to do? The neighbors have started a petition to evict me. You'll get yours.
From Ag

You Creep!
Now there's ten ladies dancing - I don't know why I call them ladies. Now the cows can't sleep and they've got diarrhea. My living room is a river of manure. The commissioner of buildings has subpoenaed me to give cause why the building shouldn't be condemned. I'm sicking the police on you.
One who means it, Ag

Listen Idiot:
What's with the eleven lords a-leaping? All 234 of the birds are dead. I hope you're satisfied, you rotten swine.
Your sworn enemy, Miss Agnes McCallister

My Goodreads review of Bluestar's Prophecy, by Erin Hunter

Bluestar's Prophecy by Erin Hunter


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well...I have to say that this is a very sad book. But it has the old warrior charm to it, so I'd definitely check it out. But it's rather sad at the end.

Sigh...

Hey, y'all! Bad news. I can't get my closed poll to delete itself (funny grammar). So, bear with me. I made another one, but I can't delete the old one.
So, later!

I'm excited to say that the Surprise I mentioned has details! He is expected December 15th.
Mom asked me to bake gingerbread cookies with Colette that week, in case she had the baby then.
She thinks ahead! Who else but my Mom would think of Colette studying the letter "G" the week she's thought to have the baby boy? I don't think about that. Wow!
I love my mom!

WHY am I so tired?

Well, I tell ya, I am really boring these days. But I will tell you people ALL about the Creation Museum. I made the awesome-est movie (mic.movie maker) about it, but Blogger didn't want to let me load it up. Oh, well.
Oh, there is one thing--my Dad and I are working with a business cards idea for me. My younger brother, my Mom, and my Dad all have them, and since I like to babysit....and, uh, stuff, I decided, "Hey, whatever!" So......Hopefully soon we'll have them! (My dad will order them on Wednesday, according to whatever he is able to do)
I'm tired, but I'm gonna get some time for my little sis. I love it that she likes being with me!


Love, Lydia

Creation Museum

Don't have much time to blog, but here's a picture from that awesome Creation Museum, located near Cincinnati, KY! It was a long hike from Fort Wayne, IN down there, but it was worth it, bein' in a luxury or whatever it's called bus! Shuttle...Chutle? Chuttle....Schuttle....looks German...Cschuttle...(looks Dutch).....Something like that.

ANOTHER update!

I'm not going to yak on all about myself and how you can read all about ME and all MY favorite...thingys. Glad to say that I (there's that cursed word again) added an "Unreached Group Of People Of The Day" thing. By clicking on the picture you can go to the page where you can click on a link to add it to your blog also.
Please see this video here on YouTube. It is SO amazing, I love it.
