New Wassail!! All join in!!

Elbridge, NY(Zone 5a)

It does make sense! Its not the Bawky part, I think its the claws! hehehe

Oxford, NS(Zone 5b)

Precisely, except it's "her fleecy coat" because it would be sa ouatine and you can't have that - like ami (masculine) or amie (feminine) is always mon ami / mon amie, because you can't have ma amie. :0)

Clarkson, KY

Phew!!!(wiping sweat from brow) Thought I'd really blown my cover there. You can fix it better it you like -I was just feeling guilty about the foray...

Oxford, NS(Zone 5b)

No fixing needed - it's perfect. I love the fat chickens. They are fat when they are all ruffled up. It was a lovely description!

Clarkson, KY

Well, been there -done that!! It was a great challenge 'til I was ear deep and sinking -glad you liked!!

Clarkson, KY

Clarkson, KY

Just a Carol to sing today!!

Do You Hear What I Hear ??

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light

Lodi, United States

A real carol! Thank you, grow.

And congratulations on your reference sticky! I had been thinking the same things myself....it kept getting lost down the forum. Now we will have stable reference library. So smart.

Clarkson, KY

Help me keep it up Cats! And thank you...

Clarkson, KY

Today's Song! Plinkity-plink!! (junky page, but...)

http://resources.bravenet.com/audio_clips/holidays/christmas_-_ding_dong_merrily_on_high/listen/
Ding dong merrily on high,
In heav'n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Supposed to be a 16th century French carol -I love this one!!

Nine naked necks napping
Eight leghorns leaping

Music that I love -hope you enjoy it also -MERRY CHRISTMAS

Elbridge, NY(Zone 5a)

Standing ovation! Nice. Thanks!

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

There's a DUCK FAIRY? Besides a BARNYARD FAIRY? Does a Duck Fairy have magical powers that work on human peoples too? Just wondering.... I've had malais and dropsy so I'm behind on my singing :( but I luv the Ding Dong song :) and luvly, luvly 12 Days too. I will be sharing the 'Nut Family Christmas' when I stop dropsying. It's a poo-hum though, not a song but that's ok methinks.

(Zone 7b)

Will there be a valentines sing a long and an easter one too?

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

Harmony I too hope there will be singing and dancing for all days and events and I hope we do poo-hums as well as wassails. ps I went back to the store and Dominick and Delilah (the ring neck doves) were gone. I'm believing that they were taken in by a luving family which is very lucky because they could be the '2 turtle doves' if you are working on the song ^_^

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

mi mi mi ♪♫♪
Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
It's the best time of the year
I sure know that there is snow
so I'm having a keg of cheer.
Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
and when you visit the barn
Say Hello to goatlings you know
and then spin a Christmasy yarn.

O ka-ching
the bator thing
set where you can see;
A new chick waits for you;
fluff her once for me.
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
and in case you didn' hear
O by golly
have a holly
Jolly Christmas this yeeeeeear.

O Come All Ye Chicken Lovers
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to The poultry Forum..
Come and behold the chicken fairy
Born the queen of Chickens;
O come, let us adore Her,
O come, let us adore Her,
O come, let us adore Her,
Chicken Fairy is Queen.....

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

Very reverent MissJestr. I'm stuck on my 'Nut Family Christmas' poo-hum. What rhymes with persnickety?

Clarkson, KY

old chicken coop rickety...
hens sitting on the pickets, Ye...

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

owie. Wouldn't sitting on pickets hurt the hen's butts cousin? Gooder though. I will use it.

Kingman, AZ(Zone 7a)

I got that song stuck in my head and was trying to put chicken themed words to it.... LOL Really I should work, but its too much fun surfing the chicken forum,

Elbridge, NY(Zone 5a)

Ya, I know what you mean MissJester. I have been working on lesson plans all day. hehehe
Not a lot done thus far. Too tempting to pop over here!

Clarkson, KY

Ok guys DB here from Germany (yup, the singer!) and he's wassailin' up a German chicken spoofer on our behalf...

Stille nacht, Hühner im Tracht'l
Sind so süß mit Apfelmuß
Schlaff'n gemütlich in braunersoß
Sitz'n im Heiligen Bauernschoß
Schlaff in himmlische Brühe
Schlaff in himmlische Brüh'

(Silent night, chickens in lederhosen
are so sweet with applesauce
sleeping comfortably in gravy
sitting in saintly farmer's lap
Sleep in heavenly stock
Sleep in heavenly stock)

(Forgive the grammatical mistakes...never studied the language, just kinda learned it.)

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

That is so cool grow and you can type in german too! Lederhosen are those cool shorts aren't they? Sorta like the german equivalent of the a pink crinoline.

(Zone 7b)

On the first day of Christmas my DH gave to me 2 Fantail Pigeons..........

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

Really truly?!?!?! Did you get them REALLY TRULY as a present?!?!?

(Zone 7b)

No i was just trying to get the wassil going again ^_^

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

LMBO @ myself ^_^ I was going to nominate him for DH of the year and everything. That would be soooo hard to do and keep a super secret, wouldn't it? I am getting a present. I don't know what and I don't know when. We don't usually exchange presents because we always buy things for each other when we see something the other might like no matter when. The last time I got a present for a significant day it was a water wall. I cried because it was something I never thought he would think of and I so luv it. This it.
