The following is an updated version of something I wrote for our club newsletter in 1979. Enjoy. Beryl Eshom I thought it would be fun to send your way, A partridge in a pear tree on the first Christmas day. Followed by calling birds, French hens, turtle doves, en masse Geese, swimming swans, milking maids, leaping Lords, Alas!! In place of drummers drumming and those five golden rings I thought you'd rather have blue ribbons, five point major's and things. Piper's piping and ladies dancing, who needs them? Indeed!! Instead I'd send a nice judge to give you the breed All that dancing, piping and drumming could cause an awful din! So I'll send assurance that your dog brings the right article in. A wish that your dogs works well with tail wagging Perfect sits, every time and at heel, never lagging. Just twelve days of Christmas may not be enough To get these wishes accomplished could really be tough. But is somehow all of these dog wishes came true, Each of you would believe in Santa Clause, wouldn't you? ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
