I memorized this poem in 1958 when I was a fifth grader in Fort Greeley, Alaska....this was soooo much better than my reading of it and just brought back wonderful, cold memories of nights of 70 below and warm fires and fine friends.

This has been in my favourites for over a year now. I often listen over again. Just felt that another "thankyou Urgelt" was called for. Fabulous reading..

Service didn't arrive at the Yukon Territory till 1904, 5 years after the klondike gold rush was over. he never actually went out for gold. he was just a brilliant writer of ficticious poems.

This is one reason I love his poetry. This isn't the stuff you hear from the lecterns of academia. It's a man talking to people using the plain language you might expect to hear around a campfire. Plain... but gloriously fitted into exquisite and evocative shapes.
