Dear fellow readers

For those who have just joined goanet, this is a follow-up poem to Goanet 
Digest, Vol 6, Issue 839, Topic 11, titled "Appeal for evidence - Ding dong 
at UK Goan fiesta".



On the twelveth day of autumn Kingfisher whispered to me
no bounty, no bird song
Brazil and Nut look like being set free
evidence looks lacking, a real ding dong mystery 

So far, all we have got is 

12 nodding dogs
11 big fat cats
10 grunting pigs
9 cows, moo moo

8 mining birds
7 slippery fish
6 slimy lizards
5 cobras, hiss hiss

4 great white sharks
3 laughing hyenas
2 dancing chimpanzees
1 frog, kiss kiss

and a handmaiden performing katti fugdi - the coconut dance
