"On the tenth day of Christmas my true sent to me, ten pipers, piping, nine drummers drumming 🥁, 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 🌲."

By,
Frederick Austin
