AN ESkIMoDE

The Eskimo endures the cold With fortitude heroic; A man of such an eskimold Is always stern and stoic. Although he frequently will wake, In weather chilly polar, To find he has humping ache Inside his eskimolar, (Which either you or would set To loud and piteous groaning,) He'd not descend upon a bet To any eskimoaning. Sometimes his wife beside him jogs; Sometimes he has to tote er, And hitches up a dozen dogs To pull her eskimotor. His farmstead being frozen deep, He needs to do no sowing, And, as there are no crops to reap, He does no eskimowing. To hunt the walrus and the seal Comprises his vocation; And so he never needs to feel An eskimotivation. Of fate the fellow asks no odds: 
 His only eskimOtive Is to propitiate his gods
 With sacrifices votive. He's always filled with rosy hope As OCT the ice he hurries, And never stops to eskimope Or think about his worries. He's cheerful till he's bent and gray, And years have bowed his shoul-
 ders, And he'll keep on the same old way, Until he eSkimolders.
 Exchange.
