<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a patron looking for a poem he heard in fifth grade.
I forgot to ask him about the year, but I’m guessing it was about 30 years ago
(late 70s-early 80s):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“I was trying to remember a poem read to me in the 5th
grade. It involves persons in a cold environment, like the arctic.
One of the party hates the cold and ultimately dies from it. His chums
put him in an oven to dispose of the body, and when they check on his status,
he complains for them to close the door because they're letting in the cold.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Does this sound familiar to anyone? If so, please reply
directly to me at <a href="mailto:molly@tigard-or.gov">molly@tigard-or.gov</a>
. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
