The twelve days of Christmas revisited

 On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me

a Koala in a gum tree

On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Two polar bears

And a koala in a gum tree

On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Three arctic foxes

Two polar bears

And a koala in a gum tree

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Four snow leopards

Three arctic foxes

Two polar bears

And a Koala in a gum tree

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Five Forest fires 

Four snow leopards

Three arctic foxes

Two polar bears

And a Koala in a gum tree

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Six glaciers glazing

Five forests fires

Four snow leopards

Three arctic foxes

Two polar bears

And a Koala in a gum tree

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Seven seas arising

Six glaciers glazing

Five forest fires

Four snow leopards

Three arctic foxes

Two polar bears

And a Koala in a gum tree

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Eight deserts dying

Seven seas arising

Six glaciers glazing

Five forest fires

Four snow leopards

Three arctic foxes

Two polar bears

And a Koala in a gum tree

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Nine rains a raging

Eight deserts dying

Seven seas arising

Six glaciers glazing

Five forest fires

Four snow leopards

Three arctic foxes

Two polar bears

And a Koala in a gum tree

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Ten Hurricanes hurling

Nine rains a raging

Eight deserts dying

Seven seas arising

Six glaciers glazing

Five Forest fires

Four snow leopards

Three arctic foxes

Two polar bears

And a Koala in a gum tree

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Eleven women weeping

Ten Hurricanes hurling

Nine rains a raging

Eight deserts dying

Seven seas arising

Six glaciers glazing

Five forest fires

Four snow leopards

Three arctic foxes

Two polar bears

And a Koala in a gum tree

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Twelve men mismanaging

Eleven women weeping

Ten Hurricanes hurling

Nine rains a raging

Eight deserts dying

Seven seas arising

Six glaciers glazing

Five forest fires

Four snow leopards

Three arctic foxes

Two polar bears

And a Koala in a gum tree
