Since it is only Dec 8th and I have heard strains of "White Christmas" 17 times already I am hereby initiating a Christmas Carol rebellion.
I suggest that the first time any of us hears "The Twelve Days of Christmas" we substitute these
alternate lyrics that I have come up with:
On the twelfth day of Christmas
my true love sent to me
not this but this
12 Drummers Drumming 12 valves all seating
11 Pipers Piping 11 pan bolts dripping
10 Lords a Leaping 10 liters of lube oil
9 Ladies Dancing 9 layers of waxing
8 Maids a Milking 8 mill-a-meters
7 Swans a Swimming 7 coats a shimmering
6 Geese a Laying 6 green lights staying
5 Golden Rings 5 piston rings
4 Calling Birds 4 fouling plugs
3 French Hens 3 Bosch horns
2 Turtle Doves 2 twisty roads
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree and a Pagoda on a Par Three
ENJOY!
