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)
