My Alaska tour guide gave to me,
Twelve seals a-pupping, Eleven humpbacks spouting,
Ten puffins flying,
Nine mosquitoes a-buzzing,
Eight lupines blooming,
Seven glaciers calving,
Six brown bears fishing,
Five boat rides,
Four totem poles,
Three small plane flights,
Two banana slugs,
And a moose under a Sitka spruce tree!
