Need help with some couplets for a 12-days present
 
Ok, so Mrs is giving her 16-yr old brother 12 days worth of presents. She's not a poet though, so she wants some help making up a couplet or so for each of the folllowing:

Example: for #2
Did you know two turtle doves are
Extremely hard to find?
So here are Turtles ‘n Dove—
The chocolate candy kind!

But better!


1 Partridge in a Pear Tree
(Homemade marzipan pears - making marzipan for gifts is a family tradition)

2 Turtle Doves
(Dove Turtle candies)

3 French Hens
(Hot sauce for making chicken wings - his favorite food)

4 Calling Birds
(Hands free headset for his cell phone)

5 Golden rings
(Butterscotch lifesavers)

6 Geese a-laying
(Chocolate eggs)

7 Swans a-swimming
(origami swans made from one and five dollar bills)

8 Maids a-milking
(8 milk maid caramels)

9 Ladies Dancing
(Gift card to a music store)

10 Lords a-leaping
(Plastic frogs)

11 Piper's piping
(bubble pipes - He had a lot of fun making bubbles with Little Funky when he last visited)

12 Drummers drumming
(Stomp DVD)

9) Nine ladies dancing

Nine ladies dancing,
Not a one a whore;
Get your scruffy ass, bro
To the music score!

6 Geese a-laying
(Chocolate eggs)

No goose dropped these
from its kiester
bought these half-off
after Easter

Mrs may run away screaming from the computer screen. I'll be laughing my donkey off.

My nose it burns from spicy things
from Gallic birds who lost their wings

7 swans a swimming

See these little swans?
You can bet they cost me plenty!
If you'd been nicer when we were little,
Each one would be a twenty!

4 calling birds

Here's a little headset
To help you when you yap.
With four birds calling on the line
You need hands free for your lap!
