This week, outdoors columnist John Schandelmeier grabs his poet’s pen and offers an Interior Alaska version of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.”
the snow was thigh-deep; way past my knees.The bunnies were snugged tight in tunnels under the snow;it was looking like Christmas dinner might be a prayer and song.A mess of sharptail tracks — and they looked to be near!I spotted the flock, a mom and her summer’s chicks,A hen and her babes should be allowed to run free, today.
I turned back toward the cabin; I had quite a way to go.Two ravens flew in a noisy pair,I saw the hole where he went down.ADVERTISEMENTI knew I wouldn’t see them, they are quite devious.so I was sure that caribou were close around.--There would be no hares or birds for Christmas Day,but there are things that need be understood.
