Twelve FTE Days of Christmas
 

Here you go boys and girls. Well, GB Sisson inspired me with the Favorite Things lyrics. All the entries were great and I knew I couldn't compete with all the excellent lyrics. So since it is the Christmas season I thought I would do a Christmas song. I thought about for a few days and got down to work on it tonight. Here it is. I tried to keep it Ford Truck related and the rhymes close to the original... I hope you enjoy it and feel free to add your own versions!

Merry Christmas to all FTE'ers and their families... and lets remember the reason for the holiday!

Nice! and I'm even included!

Merry Christmas!

You have too much time on your hands ,

So is that the ghost of Christmas past on the ninth day???

Now that there is just too funny!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-X04

I was doing fine until the ninth day of Christmas, then I about fell out of my chair.
Great stuff Abe.

Hey, I had to pick something that rhymed with 9 ladies dancing.... so it was a no brainer.

Nicely done

A good holiday chuckle

Merry Christmas Abe. To Funny

Great job. Very, very funny! But I don't get the first day... Tootsie roll in a baggie? I drove past the local dog park yesterday and there was a guy leaving with his dog, carrying something that looked like that.......I'll be thinking about my verses today while I'm planing 4000' of 1x12.

Since you don't have a 53-56 truck I guess you don't buy from Mid-Fifty. When you get a part shipment from them they include a Tootsie Roll for free!

Just groovy baby! lol

But I was born in '53. When I was 53, I bought this '53 f350. Unfortunately a few years later the recession hit, and hit hard in the building industry. I sold it to keep the farm, and my ***. I'll have another '53 one day, but my wife was born in '57 and I'd like to buy her something from '57 when she turns 57 in just over a year. Anybody got a cheap t-bird. haha.

Oh yes, I forgot you had that neat 53 F350 Express. My wife was born in 1957 too. And she would like to have a 57 Third with the port hole windows.
