Hi, Keberoxu. This is a lyrics forum. Lyrics and poetry discussion go "above the line," so I moved this thread up and removed the "BS" tag. No need to encode Website addresses here - books.google.come certainly doesn't need protection. The one thing we ask is that you not post the personal email and snailmail addresses or phone numbers of other people, and that you use caution when posting your own.

I found "the Modern Hiawatha" at http://www.bartleby.com/360/9/144.html - or at least I think it's the poem referred to in the first message.

The Modern Hiawatha
Anonymous

HE killed the noble Mudjokivis.        
Of the skin he made him mittens,        
Made them with the fur side inside,        
Made them with the skin side outside.        
He, to get the warm side inside,
Put the inside skin side outside;        
He, to get the cold side outside,        
Put the warm side fur side inside.        
That 's why he put the fur side inside,        
Why he put the skin side outside,
Why he turned them inside outside.
