if this has been done before please send me the link, if not this could be some group fun:
am trying to keep with the # of syllables of the original version (see bracketed note beside each line) so how about each who replies (if any, lol) fills in just one line and we'll somehow decide what to go with as final or just have several alternate versions...maybe even send an Xmas card with matching images to EMP?
...here goes:
"On the first day of Christmas, Gord Lightfoot sent to me":
A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (7 syllables, this should be the best since it repeats every verse)
.
.
.
right up to the last day, ie:
"On the 12th day of Christmas, Gord Lightfoot sent to me":
twelve _ _ _ _ (4 syllables)
eleven _ _ _ _ (4 syllables)
ten _ _ _ _ (4 syllables)
nine _ _ _ _ (4 syllables)
eight _ _ _ _ (4 syllables)
seven _ _ _ _ (4 syllables)
six _ _ _ _ (4 syllables)
five _ _ _ (3 syllables, strrrretched out
)
four _ _ _ (3 syllables)
three _ _ _ (3 syllables)
two _ _ _ (3 syllables)
and a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (7 syllables)
I was thinking the repeat line could be "On the first day of Christmas, Gord Lightfoot sent to me a "BACK STA-AGE PASS TO MAS-SEY" (7 syllables) -get the idea?
sounds like a pretty cool gift but I bet someone can come up with an alternative
...one second thought, if any replying want to complete the whole song that's great also - there are so many creative folks here and this thread is not about rules even though i've replaced the dot dot dot guidelines with syllable blank blank blank guidelines, lol
