On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me 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!
Cumulatively that would be:
By the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me twelve drummers drumming, twenty two pipers piping, thirty lords a-leaping, thirty six ladies dancing, forty maids a-milking, forty two swans a-swimming, forty two geese a-laying, forty gold rings, thirty six calling birds, thirty French hens, twenty two turtle doves and twelve partridges in twelve pear trees.
Not to mention the potential din of a thirty four piece orchestra accompanied by thirty six birds chosen for their beautiful music and a hundred and forty eight more that probably sound awful, the obstacle of sixty six persons gyrating presumably within earshot. Presumably at least forty cows for a-milking and a hundred and twenty days worth of milk. If each birds lays just one egg each day then that's 147 swan eggs, 168 goose eggs, 180 calling bird eggs, 165 French hen eggs, 132 turtle dove eggs and 78 partridge eggs. Altogether that's 870 eggs.
Nice pears.
