Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Cremation of Sam McGee (R W Service)
Subject: RE: Cremation of Sam McGee (Robert W. Service)
I once recited Cremation in a college Oral Interpretation of Dramatic Literature course, the professors only comment--"Well, he was a bad poet anyway." I still enjoy reciting it and whenever my substitute teaching gets me into a lit. class reading an appropriate story I will. Always surprises the students, they're amazed I can remember the whole thing. It also appears in the Lit book used by our 8th grade.
