The Twelve Days of Christmas In the Mountain West Subregion of the Western United States
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me five national parks,

four lumps of coal, three snowy slopes, two briny shrimp
and a starling on a juniper tree.
