My co-conspirator in life, Jon Bailiff, gives the best reading of classic poems like this: “around the campfire” stuff. I have a feeling you’d all love it! “The Cremation of Sam McGee” by Robert service. -

I offer it here as a chuckle, in the face of winter with its icy fingers of death, that we all may live to see another May in Georgia, where the cotton blooms and blows.
