BULL HEAD'S WIFE MAIL-ORDERS IN MORSE CODE
by Diane Glancy

I am cold Stop   I am cold Stop   I am thrashing with cold Stop   Send a blanket Stop
Cover me with a buffalo robe Stop   The river is a knife Stop   My horse is shivering
Stop   I have frost for hair Stop   The snow geese are calling.   Their cries are the north
wind Stop   I hear them say, frio frio blanco blanco Stop   I am freezing Stop   The air
is full of birds Stop   I am the only tree on the prairie Stop   My teeth are ice Stop
The cries of the foxes are a white tower Stop   Hey yanno Stop   Send galoshes for the
buffalo Stop   Send parka. Snow shoes Stop   The clouds cover the land with snow Stop   The wind is copied doublesided.
