The Twelve Days of Refing
To the tune of 'The 12 Days of Christmas' (yes --- it can be sung with a little practice)
Subtitled: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
On the first day of Refing my true love gave to me
The new ATR
On the second day of Refing my true love gave to me
Two write-on cards
And the new ATR
On the third day of Refing my true love gave to me
Three sets of shoes
Two write-on cards
And the new ATR
On the fourth day of Refing my true love gave to me
Four pairs of socks
Three sets of shoes
Two write-on cards
And the new ATR
On the fifth day of Refing my true love gave to me
Five Fox 40s
Four pairs of socks
Three sets of shoes
Two write-on cards
And the new ATR
On the sixth day of Refing my true love gave to me
Six different jerseys
Five Fox 40s
Four pairs of socks
Three sets of shoes
Two write-on cards
And the new ATR
On the seventh day of Refing my true love gave to me
Seven books on refing
Six different jerseys

Nine coaches swearing
Eight assignors calling
Seven books on refing
Six different jerseys
Five Fox 40s
Four pairs of socks
Three sets of shoes
Two write-on cards
And the new ATR
