Monday I'm a lady
     Tuesday I'll be a fish
   As for the weekend
     Paul Bunyan, if I wish

   My friend is Mickey Mouse
     His brother's Donald Duck
   Turn around and they'll be soldiers
     Or maybe pick-up trucks...

Full of warmth
Reflections back
Holidays contribute to that
Feel the holiday flavor

Holiday preparation
Fireplace jacket delight
The holiday season taking flight

Babe and the lumberjack thrash
thunder and earthquakes —
quench me with life and legend
