If you have the patience to read to the end, you might have a little smile. All of Robert Service's poems are special to me. I hope you enjoy this one.

When I was really little, my father used to keep me amused (and out of my mother's hair) by using his office "dictaphone" to cut records for me. One of my favorite things that he used to read to me was Hiawatha by Longfellow. I used to sit in front of the family record player, and listen to my father's voice reading this poem. I was probaby about five...
