Talking cold turkey

 Hi Bev

Hi Chris

You look like Scott

all wrapped up

I may be sometime

Oates, you mean Oates

Oates said I'm off to get some porridge

Scott

was racing Ombudsmen the Norwegian

Amundsen

Yes the two reasons why that failed

were food and clothing

It must have been difficult to get there

and realize you've been beaten to it 


They ate their dogs, Amundsen

Hot dogs

Originally

Scott's team had to make do

With poor clothing

And their machines broke down


There was an Australian who went up Everest

Before Hilary

A sheep farmer

He invented the down coat

Up down

No Eider

I'd ha what?

I'd ha thought it would be

He advised Hilary who was a New Zealander

So they got on both from down under

And they had Tensing

Ten cent?

Genetically designed to work at high altitudes

I wish I were
