I think this is the most obscure riddle I’ve written
There are a few special words that I have sent in
There are a few special words that I have sent in
You gave a nearly accurate answerSouth Pole?
One Ton Depot?For your Dash
These words I will hash
The clues seems tough
For me at least, a bit rough
Where did Scott perish?
Not in a place I cherish
One Ton Depot I surmise
Is the place of Scott's demise.
There was a little window I could see out
And what I saw without a shadow of doubt
An emperor penguin standing royal and stout!
But I walked out of this old wooden hut And was surrounded by white crystalline fog
A short distance away I saw a tied up dead dog
I looked above to the bright bright blue sky
A view made only by God and one you can’t buy
The sun above didn’t go east to west
But around in a circle and never sets
To help with the answer you might ask Scott
I tell you the truth a distraction that’s not
To the riddle there’s four questions to answer
So says my little fallen dog Dasher
Where?
It’s a land that isn’t always nice
A warm day just starts to melt ice
When?
Why does the sun not set but circle around. Does this have a familiar sound?
Specifically Where?
What’s with this dead dog, wood structure and cold fog?
give you a clue tHat could go utterly wrong
Who?
There are fewer and fewer OAEs
I am truly one oh don’t you see
Cheers!

Now is the time
To try my rhyme
To the pole the race
Antarctica is the place
Winter is the time of year
The weather then we fear
To the South Pole they went
On the return they were spent
Thier hunger they could not quell
Ross Ice Shelf is where they fell
Scott, Oates, Wilson, Bowers, and Evans
Surrendered to the heavens
South Pole where dead dogs are a good source of vit. C
Ok
I guess nobody reads and answers this thread any longer
Maybe tired of my rhyming falter
I can surely only give one other clue
Down on the ice we really all knew
It concerns a man born in 1868 and by 1912 had met his frozen fate
[snip]
So down to the south we all rallied in
Two thousand miles a journey my friend
Man the south was cold
I never thought I’d be so bold
But we did it went to Ross island
Built a home and one that I died in
I ask you some questions.
What could my quest be in
You tell me after all the sidetracks, but clues too.
Think you can answer the questions true?
Cheers!
