Whenever we would get snowed in in our cabin up in the Siskiyou Mountains, members of our family used to pass the time by reciting Robert W, Service poems to each other. Some of us wrote preludes to these poems in the original style of the author, just for the fun of it. Good times.
Robert Service is despised by Academe; I think because the public would pay money to read his poems. He was a real man; went to war at age 40, in addition to everything else he did.
