Merry Christmas Every One,

I came up with a little Christmas puzzle for our company party. It is based on The Twelve Days of Christmas song. Each picture represents a rhyming play on the words of the original song. For those of you who need a little help:

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 golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!

Some of them are very hard, if not totally impossible, to figure out. You try to rhyme something with "Eight maids a-milking!!!" Anyway, to give you a hint, head start, and a clue to how devious I am, the answer is "Eight aids a-bilking" which is a nod to the U.S. Congress. Happy New Year. I'll post answers next year.
