WHAT! ELEVEN DRUMMERS! What's that in aid of? Give me strength! Just what we need in our nice quiet garden! Can't a chap have a nice sleep on 'is snail? 'Er Ladyship keeps talking about learning to play the drums, but she never gets round to it, so there must be mercy in 'eaven. Speaking of her, 'er's got work to do, and how can she do it with all that bish bash pom di pom going on? Whoever started singing about that little drummer boy has a lot to answer for.
That young otter chap, that Fingal, 'e thinks it's 'ilarious, doubled over with laughter, 'e is. Off yer go, drummers, the pub is straight along the main road, yer can't miss it. Take yer blooming drums in there and for mercy's sake shut the door behind you.

Beg pardon...it's really eleven pipers...I think Much must have too much ivy in his ears...
Much is stuffing more ivy into his ears as I write! There are different versions of the song, and I find it confusing. I looked in our lovely Twelve Days of Christmas book by Sophie Windham and her order is completely different again.
Have you read 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' by Jenny Overton? One of the best Christmas books ever.
