Perhaps we should have a snippet of the original here so that those who are unfamiliar with Longfellow can understand and appreciate the parody....
:"With his hand he broke a fragment,
:Moulded it into a pipe-head,
:Shaped and fashioned it with figures;
:From the margin of the river
:Took a long reed for a pipe-stem,
:With its dark green leaves upon it;
:Filled the pipe with bark of willow,
:With the bark of the red willow;
:Breathed upon the neighboring forest,
:Made its great boughs chafe together,
:Till in flame they burst and kindled;
:And erect upon the mountains,
:Gitche Manito, the mighty,
:Smoked the calumet, the Peace-Pipe,
:As a signal to the nations."
Shall I put it on the Page? (Or does anyone know a more appropriate part to use?)[[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 21:44, 1 November 2008 (EDT)
