On the 11th day of Christmas, Ajit Pai gave to me:
Eleven extra fastlanes
Ten advertisements,
Nine website trials,
Eight rooster-blocked downloads,
Seven corporate shills,
Six ISP bills,
Five packages,
Four turtled speeds,
Three price tiers,
Two blocked websites,
And a whole lot of internet feeeeeees!

brother that's not how the 12 days of anything works

On the 12th day of Christmas, Ajit Pai gave to meeeeee;

Twelve ruined memes,
Eleven extra fastlanes,
Ten advertisements,
Nine website trials,
Eight rooster-blocked downloads,
Seven corporate shills,
Six ISP bills,
Five packages,
Four turtled speeds,
Three price tiers,
Two blocked websites,


And a whole lot of internet feeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

this reminds me of the payday 2 12 days of christmas song, oh the good memories





"Two blocked websites" doesn't seem like it'd fit "Two turtle doves" very well due to the per-word syllables being swapped after "Two"

"Two blocked websites" doesn't seem like it'd fit "Two turtle doves" very well due to the per-word syllables being swapped after "Two"
perhaps just "two websites blocked" instead!

move turtled speeds to 2? i mean it's even got the word
and maybe "4 blocked sites?" but that's usually "calling birds" so the syllables wouldn't match there either

move turtled speeds to 2? i mean it's even got the word
o forget that was my intention but i forgot turtle doves was on 2 not 4 lol

but ya sure

It's two syllables then one syllable, so substituting that with Seth's suggestion of changing the line a bit to "websites blocked" would work

It also means the same thing, so it still works in that sense as well

So it would go like this;

And a whole lot of in-ter-net fees


It also brings "speeds" and "fees" closer together, and they sort of rhyme, so it's even better

Shills and bills even rhyme, if only there was a rhyme to be made at the start since there's a rhyme toward the middle and at the end
