Okay, most of you have heard that lovely old English carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas--that one in which Truelove gives, over the twelve days (Dec.25--Jan. 5):
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five gold rings...
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle-doves
and a partridge in a pear tree.
Got it? Good. Here's the challenge:
Write and share with us YOUR version of this old favorite.
Funny or sad, sacred or stupid, ancient or modern, let's see what you Yahooers can come up with!
The usual 10 big points for the best, extra karma points for originality, and let's try and keep the gross ones for another question. (And watch that cat-flinging, too)--
And remember, we ought to be able to sing it!
Take your time, have fun, --Go For It!
