Fans of the French Revolution may be amused by this parody of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”

On the twelfth day of Thermidor my true love sent to me

Twelve months renaming,
Eleven bonnets rouge-ing, 
Ten lords a-fleeing,
Nine Tricoteuses,
Eight papers *Presse*-ing,
Seven sans culotte-ing,
Six priests dismaying,
FIVE JAC-O-BINS,
Four guillotines,
Three French heads,
Two Estates down,
And a cap in a Liberty Tree.

The creator of this ditty was Adam Roberts. Dr. Rachel Gillett performs it in this YouTube video.
