Moving on from 'snow-mobiling'

1921 Ford Model T snowmobile.


"My sleek, streamlined machine's lying in a drift

Pointed at Ely still,

And there's a shrub I didn't kill

Beside it, and there may be someone miffed

Because I chased his cow.

But I am done with snow-mobiling now.

The scent of spring is heavy in the air...''
