On the Eighth Day of Christmas, my Slave she gave to me.........
Eight maids-a-milking, seven swans-a-swimming, Six geese-a-laying, five gold rings etc.......
Piggyfriends in unison: We await in anticipation what you are going to come up with for this one Slave.
Machu Picchu: What's this about then Slave?
Slave: This is a cow.
Picchu: OK but where are the Maids to milk this cow?
Slave: Er...They have been delayed due to a train strike...trouble at the airport...they don't work on holidays....
Picchu: Admit it Slave. You haven't got any Maids have you?
Slave: Er no. The cow was the best that I could come up with. In mitigation, the cow is a milk jug so we have a milk element to the picture. Oh dear. This is a very difficult song.
Picchu: That is alright. It is a nice cow.
Picchu: Despite the lack of suitable Maids, I will sit nicely beside this cow so that you can take my photo.
Slave: Thank you Picchu.
To be continued.....(sigh).....
I'm enjoying this series so much --- after all of your hard work, it's too bad it could not be turned into a piggy-themed book for posterity! It doesn't hurt at all to make us use our imagination a bit.
