The Point of View.
On the top of the world, where there’s lots of snow,
As all the geographies say,
A small Eskimo, just to make the time go,
Was building a Snow Man one day.
Now it happened by chance that two Polar Bears
Came strolling along that way:
“Perhaps it is none of our affairs,
But what are you making?” said they.
“A Snow Man, of course,” said the Eskimo;
The Bears gave a comical stare;
Said they, “If you must make a person of snow,
Why on earth don’t you make a Snow Bear?”
He sat himself down for a moment to think
Of some suitable sort of reply,
When a Penguin, two Foxes, a Seal, and a Mink,
And a Walrus came wandering by.
