AFTER THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS, THE GRAND TOTAL WAS:
12 drummers drumming
22 pipers piping
30 lords a leaping
36 ladies dancing
40 maids a milking
42 swans a swimming
42 geese a laying
40 gold-en rings.......
36 calling birds
30 French hens
22 turtle doves
And 12 partridges in a pear tree
*Frankly speaking, it was a difficult two weeks. It quickly became stuffy and cramped...For example: Where you gonna put 40 cows? All parties (including me) got VERY grouchy
To make matters worse, one of the leaping lords leapt onto one of the dancing ladies and tried to seduce her; one of the piping pipers got jealous and a HUGE brawl ensued. I incurred minor injuries trying to break it up and I swear I did NOT wrestle with one of the milking maids in spite of what those idiot drumming drummers said
In addition the UPS driver was NOT amused. I offered him some fresh milk and deviled goose eggs and he turned me down on the spot. He had the NERVE to demand one of my golden rings! I refused and then of course, WE got into a fight and both of us ended up in the emergency room
I'm thinking a pair of socks would be nice next year...
