Sung to the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas:"
...Three Gabbies Gall'pin'...
...Two Bennies Beltin'...
...One Mellie Meltin'...
...And now Dad-dy is a-Coma-tose!
This makes no sense...and I love it for that. I'm writing it under a heavy fog of the effects of this nearly nightly cocktail o'mine. 300 mg Gabapentin, 50 mg Diphenhydramine HCL, 5mg Melatonin...and let me tell you, it's nighty-night-nurse. No questions asked. Oh, but the morning after. And when you're retired with nothing on your plate, why not just sleep the day away? Well, 'cause then you throw the sleep cycle off and you come to depend on Daddy's Little Helper every freakin' night! I'll wean off it, eventually, I guess. For now, it's followed by its morning counterpart -- FIVE GOLDEN CUPS OF STRONG COFFEE! No golden rings here I'm afraid.
