Twelve Days of Christmas

I guess you weren't expecting this ... an Australian animals/birds  version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas"
On the Twelfth Day of Christmas my true love gave to me 
12 parrots prattling 
11 numbats nagging 
10 lizards leaping
9 wombats working
8 dingoes digging
7 possums playing 
6 brolgas dancing
5 kangaroos 
4 koalas cuddling 
3 kookaburras laughing 
2 pink galahs 
And an emu up a gum tree  .... ( this of course is highly unlikely!)

The tag is stamped and hand drawn over a computer generated text.
Today here it was 30 degreesC - so, Christmas has a very different feel to it from the cold and wintry scenes many of you experience in the northern hemisphere. Hope you all have a great week! Wilma

  12. Wilma I have prattling parrots, leaping lizards and an even bigger gaggle of kookaburras that I would be delighted to share with you. I pulled this poem out too but went somewhere else.
    Be wary of those galahs and happy Christmas to you!
    PS the Kookaburras timing leaves a lot to be desired - 3 o'clock in the morning they are still partying.
