In the frozen north there lives a man<\/p>\n
Who never said no to a challenge.<\/p>\n
He once lived in the South then saw<\/p>\n
A commercial proclaiming a simple life<\/p>\n
In the arctic wilderness where moose roam<\/p>\n
And Alaska natives speak forgotten tongues<\/p>\n
So smitten, he gave up his life to move there<\/p>\n
His friends said he was crazy, that he\u2019d die<\/p>\n
But he bought cold weather gear, and made calls<\/p>\n
And snapped up some land no one wanted<\/p>\n
Money changed hands to help build a dream<\/p>\n
A wooden cottage nestled in no man\u2019s land<\/p>\n
Just stop by today and ask to stay<\/p>\n
An Bob will smile and welcome you in<\/p>\n
And tell you the wonders he has seen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
