The Twelve Days of a New Zealand Christmas
Adapted by Kingi M. Ihaka
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A pukeko in a ponga tree.
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Two kumara and a pukeko in a ponga tree.
On the third day: three flax kits …
On the fourth day: four huhu grubs …
On the fifth day: five big fat pigs …
On the sixth day: six pois a-twirling …
On the seventh day: seven eels a-swimming …
On the eighth day: eight plants of puha …
On the ninth day: nine sacks of pipis …
On the tenth day: ten juicy fish heads …
On the eleventh day: eleven haka lessons …
On the twelfth day: twelve piupius swinging …
