Twelve pairs hanging high twelve men riding by each man grabs a pair but leave eleven hanging there. How is this possible?

[Edit]
It's actually a take on an old nursery rhyme. Its a play on words and should read;

Twelve pairs hanging high twelve men riding by each man grabs a pear but leave a dozen hanging there. How is this possible

Its twelve pairs of pears and each rider takes one pear, leaving the other 12 there...a dozen.
