Kerry's Twelve Days of Christmas
It was 2008
When I took Aunt Liz to see
Eden Rose and P. Freeman Green
Then we rewrote her will
And Liz made me the Trustee
Of her estate and all her property
She lived with our family
And Liz baby-sat our kids
While I managed her money with ease
Then I put her in a hospice
For some intensive care
All because of Alzheimer's disease
On the 19th of November
My lawyers said to me
"Kerry, you're now the Trustee."
"Your Christmas starts early
And just wait 'til you see
What Aunt Liz left you under your tree!"
