On the thirteenth day of Xmas
my love sold on Trade Me
12 Drummers Drumming
kids who had found drum kits under the tree very early Christmas morning left there by Santas who should have had more sense..
22 Pipers Piping
most fom Otago's Scottish Pipe Bands, some from an Irish band and a couple from Waitaki BoysHigh School.
30 Lords a leaping into Oamaru Hartbour to escape the drummers and pipers.
36 ladies dancing; Eighteen practising River Dance, Fourteen doing a Highland Fling above crossed swords and four poi dancing and doing Hornpipes at the same time.
40 maids a milking; cows, goats, llamas and sheep; farmers' daughter working furiously because their mothers are dancing, their fathers leaping and the Fonterra tanker is due any moment.
35 swans a swimming; black swans, naturally this being the Antipodes.
42 geese a laying, not one being the goose that laid the golden egg, it having been culled centuries ago, but if those ladies ever stop dancing, or their daughter finish milking, goose eggs make great pavlova!
40 G-O-O-O-LD RINGS The Olympics are three years away.
36 calling birds making more noise than drummers and pipers combined.
30 french hens, laying les oufs pour les omelettes for the lords to eat when they stop leaping.
22 turtle doves cooing like mad and doing unspeakable things under their perches.
No partridges, sorry my love ate them all and spewed up over the pear trees.
