It doesn't work very well. It cannot follow the tune of the original and it doesn't flow. You have "On my first day at the hive a member gave to me, a warm welcome with a few links!" whereas the original is "On the first day of christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree." Perhaps if you used something a long the lines of "On the first day of Hive-ing a member gave, posting rules that gave some fear".

I know my lyrics are not much better but the last word has to rhyme with "me". Using poetic licensce, "fear" rhymes with "me". Make sure it flows and it will be a lot better. Overall, it is quite good.

Do you know hot to write music? It is more than copying the syllable count. You also have to copy the rhyming scheme and the stresses. An example of this is Shakespeare's Iambic Pentameter. Every second syllable is stressed. If I wrote in Shakespearean style, without Iambic Pantameter, it wouldn't be Shakespeare. I hope that clears some things up.

Just a thought, try singing it. If it feels the same when you sing it, you know you are close. I tried to sing your song (quielty to myself) and it didn't feel right.

Please know that I am trying to give constructive criticism. If it seems insulting, I'm very sorry as that is not my intention.

WHat about the 13th day?
Since when was there a 13th day of Christmas?
