I love it. I had planned to draw Ekarus sitting by a fire, stack of books, red and green snuggie, a grill setup, somebody making jokes about chestnuts roasting on the fire…

But then I decided to play cataclysm instead.

Very fun, but a couple minor quips:

Should take out ‘head’ on the first day, because it adds an extra beat that isn’t in the tune. Zom-bie and Par-tridge match up fine, but Zom-bie-head and par-tridge don’t.

Similar on day nine as well. Maybe change from mu-ta-gens to mu-tants.

Still, it’s very entertaining overall. I need to go find me an old Christmas fungal spire and light it on fire to celebrate or something.

I thought it should be “Fiiiiive angry moose” to further help keep the beat.

Moose and Rings match up perfectly. Tur-rets and rings, not so much.

We appreciate your cultured sharing, and wits too!

May I suggest – an edit – for an ending, perhaps? 🙂

Cheers, happy holidays mate!
