Polar Reflections

• IO *1 m How awful 'twould be to live at the pole, With no back yard but an icj shoal .And no front town but a big, deep hole— At the pole! Nowhere to set your breakfast roll. Nowhere to buy a load of coal, Nowhere to go for a pleasant stroll— At the pole! Nowhere to sit on a grassy knoll Or the mossy side of a fallen bole And Idly loaf and invtte your soul— At the pole! Doesn't it seem a little droll ’ There’s nothing to do but to enroll Your name upon fame’s glittering scroll— At the pole! —Carolyn Wells in New York Tribune.
