  Whenever you're perspiring like a GruyÈre cheese, List to this list of cooling works which cannot fail to please: Great Isaac Hayes's noted work upon the POLAR SEA, How much with him this broiling day we all would like to be! Or maybe in the SNOWBOUND realms we'd find still more delight If Whittier, the poet great, would take us there to-night. With Nansen in his tales of weird and far-off frozen lands, Where no one needs be tortured by electric buzzing fans; And Barrows' wondrous voyages in icy ARCTIC REGIONS, Meeting monstrous icebergs each hour by the legions. While each and all would love to get a nice big cooling box And ICY LANDS by Perry, Kane, Atkinson and Hall, Sound so mighty tempting to us one and all. Exploring parties to the North led by the hero Schley, Oh, such a summer voyage how we would like to try! And follow after Wrangell with snow up to our knees Across Siberia's lonely plains to far-off NORTHERN SEAS. While reading of the ICE FLOATS from Kennan and from Hohn, We feel that we should have a shelf all of our very own, And on it all these chilly works we there should keep on hand, To take us when we're hot and cross to some cool northern land. |
