“On the Eleventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Eleven Pipers Piping.” If I had a true love, I’m not sure what kind of piper he would send as images for the eleven pipers are commonly either playing the flute or bagpipes.  And while I don’t mind the sound of a bagpipe, having eleven flutes or bagpipes piping in my small house would be a little overwhelming and too noisy. And it would be hard for them to play outside since it was -18ºF is morning and their lips would freeze onto any metal part of their pipes. On a non-winter day, I would rather see and listen to a different type of piper piping.

“On the Tenth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Ten Lords a-Leaping.”  Only a man would think ten lords would be a great present, but not to a woman would have to wait on the lords serving them food and drinks. I don’t know what good ten lords would be other than blowing a lot of hot air around which might help warm up this very, very cold day. I figured lords fell in the category of slimy critters but that would insult frogs which are a better class than lords.

“On the Ninth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Nine Ladies Dancing.” I am too much of a country kid to appreciate the culture of ballet ladies dancing in leotards with pink ballet slippers. I much rather see pink lady’s slippers in a different form, one that you would see in the woods in the spring (whenever the snow melts again). A member of the orchid genus, Cypripedium acaule, is commonly called Pink Lady’s Slipper.

“On the Eighth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Eight Maids a-Milking.”  I don’t think any wise maid milk would stick around during a Wisconsin winter to milk a herd of cows when the highs will be below zero. Of course technology has changed the way cows are milked with even robots do the milking, and while the machine might breakdown occasionally, they don’t call in sick from a New Year Eve hangover!
