This one was one of my favorites. The “Shooting of Dan McGrew” was too.Years ago I saw a movie cartoon of this poem. It started out with a scene of a sign on a hilltop, Alaskan town down below, snow all over. The sign had a population number for the town, like the numbers on a cash register. Next you heard two shots, and the population number on the sign dropped by two. Hilarious.

Service was amazing in his insights as he was not a pioneer or miner so much as a bookkeepper who wrote poetry about what he saw aound him.
I always liked "The Men who Don't fit In".
