Dearest John:

I went to the door today and the postman delivered a Partridge in a
Pear Tree.  What a thoroughly delightful gift.  I couldn't have been
more surprised.

With deepest love and devotion,

Agnes

Dearest John:

Today the postman brought your very sweet gift.  Just imagine - Two
Turtle Doves!  I'm just delighted at your very thoughtful gift.
They are just adorable.

All my love,

Agnes

Dearest John:

Oh, aren't you the extravagant one!  Now I really must protest.  I
don't deserve such generosity - three French Hens!  They are just
delightful, but I must insist, you've been too kind.

Love,

Agnes

Dearest John:

Today the postman delivered four Calling Birds.  Now really, you're 
being too romantic.  They are beautiful, but don't you think that
enough is enough.

Affectionately,

Agnes

Dearest John:

What a surprise!  Today the postman delivered five Golden Rings -
one for each finger.  You're just impossible, but I love it.
Frankly, all those birds squawking were beginning to get on my
nerves.

Love,

Agnes

Dear John:

When I opened the door, there were actually six Geese a Laying on
my front steps.  So you're back to the birds again, huh?  Those
geese are huge.  Where will I keep them?  The neighbours are
complaining and I can't sleep through the racket.  Please stop.

Cordially,

Agnes

John:

What's with you and those fucking birds?  Seven Swans A Swimming!
What kind of Goddamn joke is this?  There's bird shit all over the
house and they never stop with the racket.  I can't sleep at night
and I'm a nervous wreck - it's not funny.  So stop with those
fucking birds!

Sincerely,

Agnes

OK Buster!

I think I prefer the birds.  What the hell am I going to do with
8 Maids a Milking?  It's not enough with all these birds and eight
maids a milking, but they had to bring their Goddamn cows!  There's
shit all over the lawn and I can't move in my own house.

Just lay off me, smartass!

Agnes

Hey Shithead:

What are you, some kind of sadist?  Now there are 9 Pipers Playing!
And Christ do they play!  They never stopped chasing those maids 
since they got here yesterday.  The cows are getting upset and
they're stepping all over those screeching birds.  What am I going
to do?  The neighbours have started a petition to evict me.

You'll get yours!

Agnes

You Rotten Prick!

Now there's Ten Ladies Dancing.  I don't know why I call those sluts 
ladies.  They've been balling those pipers all night long.  Now the
cows can't sleep and they've got diarrhea.  My living room is a river
of shit.  The commissioner of buildings has subpoenaed me to give 
cause why the building should't be condemned.

I'm sicking the police on you.

One who means it!

Listen Fuckhead:

What's with the Eleven Lords a Leaping on those Maids and Ladies.
Some of those broads will never walk again.  Those pipers ran through
the maids and have been committing sodomy with the cows.  All 23
birds are dead, they've been trampled to death in the orgy.  I hope
you're satisfied, you rotten vicious swine.

Your sworn enemy,

Agnes
