Our Version of the 12 Days of Christmas

Misty and Kerri on our team came up with this version of the 12 days of Christmas Karamoja style. It is pretty hilarious, probably more to me than to you! These are literally some of the experiences we have had here. Although now the number of mp3 players that have been stolen is up to 3, and we have had 2 extremely poisonous spiders (that I wish we could have fitted into the song). Enjoy!

On the first day of Christmas,
Karamoja sent to me
A spitting cobra in the latrine.

On the second day of Christmas,
Karamoja sent to me
Two stolen ipods,
And a spitting cobra in the latrine.

On the third day of Christmas,
Karamoja sent to me
Three running cheetahs,
Two stolen ipods,
And a spitting cobra in the latrine.

On the fourth day of Christmas,
Karamoja sent to me
Four slaughtered roosters,
Three running cheetahs,
Two stolen ipods,
And a spitting cobra in the latrine.

On the eighth day of Christmas,

Eight wild ostriches,
Seven fanta orange,
Six malaria cases,
Five flat tires,
