1st Day of Christmas - Katy Wyton, Writer Wrangler extraordinaire
A complaint (in verse)
Writer Wrangler (N): someone who has voluntarily, or involuntarily, come into possession of a writer.
Please remember that a Writer is for life, not just for Christmas.
(Although if you put enough shiny baubles on the tree, it will distract them long enough for you to scoff all the mince pies.)
