L is for Lake
Three million lakes, great for fishing and swimming,
They’re also good runways, for planes, water-skimming.
M is for Mosquito
Our giant mosquitoes love to buzz in people’s ears.
The unofficial state bird’s been “bugging” us for years.
N is for Northern Lights
The aurora borealis is colorful and bright.
You can see it in Alaska, but only at night.
O is for Otter
They float on their backs and eat lots of clams,
But did you know sea otters sometimes hold hands?
