he says he thinks it’s great
That Jinping serves for life
He thinks that would be nice
says, “Let’s give that a shot”
and we all say let’s not.
Pachyderms are game now
taken from the list of
the endangered species
they all will be missed
‘cause rich folks want to shoot them
And they get what suits them

Refuge is now shrinking
for endangered species
We will just replace them
with some Mitsubishis
tariffs placed on metals

to denuclearization

Where Scott Pruitt spoke

In the 18th Month of Trump’s Mess
it’s all about the kids
2000 of the minors

and didn’t even bother
with an excel spreadsheet

Tweets the Federal Reserve
pushed it out of gear
– Christmas in the White House
due to the shutdown
Decides to ruin Christmas
for a little girl
and he still wants to build a border wall.

HISTORY OF THE SOURCE MATERIAL
(12 Days of Christmas)

“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is an English Christmas carol that was published in England in 1780. The original version was done without music and was performed as a chant.

The standard tune now associated with The 12 Days of Christmas is derived from a 1909 arrangement of a traditional folk melody by English composer Frederic Austin. He was the one who came up with the catchy little break in the middle of the verses that we recognize as “five gold rings.”

There are various historic versions of the lyrics from different countries. For example, from Scotland we have this:

The king sent his lady on the thirteenth Yule day,
Three stalks o’ merry corn,
Three maids a-merry dancing,
Three hinds a-merry hunting,
An Arabian baboon,
Three swans a-merry swimming,
Three ducks a-merry laying,
A bull that was brown,
Three goldspinks,
Three starlings,
A goose that was grey,
Three plovers,
Three partridges,
A pippin go aye;
Wha learns my carol and carries it away?

“Pippin go aye” (also spelled “papingo-aye” in later editions) is a Scots word for peacock or parrot.
