A Season's Greeting
To my dear friends who are celebrating Christmas and
Saturnalia,
I wish you all a very merry celebration and a happy new
year (by the Gregorian calendar).
I sincerely hope that you will stay safe and well all
through these celebrations and beyond.
May your coming year also be a fruitful, happy and
prosperous one.
It is however with great regret that I have to inform you
of the following.
The 12 Drummers are not able to perform because their
drums got lost in transit,
Eleven Pipers are otherwise occupied at the moment
because they are still at the police station.
The arresting officer is having a tough time believing that they are not
unlicensed plumbers.
The Ten Lords all broke various parts of their legs because they didn’t look before they leapt.
The Nine Ladies are also at the police station because they apparently did not realise that they were just supposed to dance, not take off their clothes as well.
The Eight Maids are no longer employed in the dairy industry, they now work at the booths at the Malaysian highways except for one who got married and is now a homemaker and online businesswoman,

The Seven Swans are no longer swimming because they swam
in the crocodile pit.
The Six Geese are also no longer laying egg. In fact, they are no longer. They have all been consumed. The supermarket ran out of chicken and we had peolple coming over, so….
I could not get the Five Golden Rings because there was a sale and the rings were gone before I got there.
The Four Calling Birds have been eaten by a few cats.
The Three French Hens have been made into various French dishes.
The Two Turtle Doves flew away but one was caught by an eagle and the other by another cat.
and, I’m really sorry about this, I ate the Partridge that was in the Pear Tree
