It is not common knowledge that I once collected stamps. I particularly loved finding Christmas stamps. I managed to complete two sets of The Twelve Days of Christmas.
This is the final verse of the song.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
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.
But apparently, there are two versions on the song. The other one, the one found in this set of stamps, has nine drummers drumming, ten pipers piping, eleven ladies dancing and twelve lords a-leaping.
Regardless of how many drummers, pipers, lords and ladies there may be, I still like these stamps.

A partridge in a pear tree.
Two turtle doves. Three french hen.
Four Calling Birds. Five Golden Rings. Six Geese a Laying
Seven Swans a Swimming. Eight Maids a Milking
Nine Drummers Drumming. Ten Pipers Piping.
Eleven Ladies Dancing. Twelve Lords a Leaping
