| Dan McGrew, Sam McGee, and other great Service |
| Service, Robert W. 1874-1958 |
| You may have encountered "The Cremation of Sam McGee" in school. Here's Sam and other humorous tall tales by Robert Service.Here's a sample:
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee. |
