Here is a fun bit: I wrote a little Python script to displays the lyric of Twelve Days of Christmas in 12 lines.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
gifts = [
'a partridge in a pear tree', 'two turtle doves and', 'three French hens',
'four calling birds', 'five gold rings', 'six geese a-laying',
'seven swans a-swimming', 'eight maids a-milking', 'nine ladies dancing',
'ten lords a-leaping', 'eleven pipers piping', 'twelve drummers drumming'
]
days = """first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh eighth
ninth tenth eleventh twelfth""".split()
for limit, day in enumerate(days, 1):
gift = '\n '.join(reversed(gifts[:limit]))
print(f'On the {day} day of Christmas, my true love gave to me\n {gift}\n')
