With our Canadian snow shoes	A
O'er snow you walk where'er you choose	A
But on long shoes Norwegian	B
They are like narrow toboggan	B
	-
And all your movements you control	C
By the aid of a stout long pole	C
With it you balance or propel	D
But we show now what once befell	D
	-
Two miners full of pluck and game	E
Wished to locate a mining claim	E
On a high steep mountain crest	F
In Colorado of the West	F
	-
Though snow was deep they would attempt	G
Their good mine for to pre empt	G
So up the mountain they do climb	H
Covered o'er with snow and rime	H
	-
Norwegian shoes slide over the snow	I
High and higher still they go	I
One was two hundred yards ahead	J
Till snow gives way where he doth tread	J
	-
Which quickly starts an avalanche	K
He seizes on a stout tree branch	K
But all in vain he rushes fast	L
His snow shoes in the avalanche	K
	-
His friend on shoes Norwegian	B
Like lightning down the hill he ran	M
Or rather o'er the ice did glide	N
Down the long steep and glassy slide	N
	-
And after him the Avalanche	K
Tearing up trees both root and branch	K
The man on Avalanche doth yell	D
To his friend you are doing well	D
	-
With your shoes Norwegian	B
Swifter than a toboggan	B
Go on go on you'll win the race	O
For we are slack'ning in our pace	O
	-
But alas poor runner feels	P
The Avalanche doth touch his heels	P
Shall he be buried in the mass	Q
Or will the vast pile o'er him pass	Q
	-
He stops quite sudden 'neath a rock	R
It passed o'er him with mighty shock	R
Though it did cause him great alarm	H
Yet still he was all safe from harm	H
	-
The Avalanche yet downward slides	S
And his friend on it he rides	S
Until it safely him doth launch	T
On outer edge of his own ranch	K
	-
After three miles down the gulch	U
They both might have been crushed to mulch	U
The one he seemed to run a race	O
While one on Avalanche did chase	O
	-
But it was not for bravado	I
One rode one run in Colorado	I
For it was desperate the strife	V
Each had for to secure his life	V
	-
This tale of shoes Norwegian	B
Is not for the collegian	B
But for such youths as do take pride	N
In reading of a wondrous slide	N
