[northofdenali]

the other night and had a great time, which ended in the creation of the following song. Consider it a gift to all, and know that love and peace are your karma and the New Year will bring you both!

An Alaskan Solstice
(Sung to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”, composer unknown)

On the first day of Solstice, my true love gave to me
The Northern Lights from my back porch.

On the second day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Two caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.

On the third day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Three polar bear
Two Caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.

On the fourth day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Four Arctic Terns
Three polar bear
Two caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.

On the fifth day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Five ptarmigan
Four Arctic Terns
Three polar bear
Two caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.

On the sixth day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Six beavers damming
Five ptarmigan
Four Arctic Terns
Three polar bear
Two caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.

On the seventh day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Seven brownies fishing
Six beavers damming
Five ptarmigan
Four Arctic Terns
Three polar bear
Two caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.


On the eighth day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Eight moose a’ munching
Seven brownies fishing
Six beavers damming
Five ptarmigan
Four Arctic Terns
Three polar bear
Two caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.

On the ninth day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Nine puffins nesting
Eight moose a’ munching
Seven brownies fishing
Six beavers damming
Five ptarmigan
Four Arctic Terns
Three polar bear
Two caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.

On the tenth day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Ten ravens talking
Nine puffins nesting
Eight moose a’ munching
Seven brownies fishing
Six beavers damming
Five ptarmigan
Four Arctic Terns
Three polar bear
Two caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.


On the eleventh day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Eleven loons a’ calling
Ten ravens talking
Nine puffins nesting
Eight moose a’ munching
Seven brownies fishing
Six beavers damming
Five ptarmigan
Four Arctic Terns
Three polar bear
Two caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.

On the twelfth day of Solstice my true love gave to me
Twelve orca breaching
Eleven loons a’ calling
Ten ravens talking
Nine puffins nesting
Eight moose a’ munching
Seven brownies fishing
Six beavers damming
Five ptarmigan
Four Arctic Terns
Three polar bear
Two caribou
And the Northern Lights from my back porch.
