Belly Dancer's Twelve Days of Christmas

by Shira

On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 12 drummers drumming 11 oudists playing 10 tippers tipping 9 troupemates dancing 8 nightclubs hiring 7 brand-new costumes 6 swords to balance 5 sets of zills! 4 cheering fans 3 coin scarves 2 tambourines and a new house to hold all my supplies!   PHOTO CREDIT: Photo by Evelyn M.
