Hello, my name is John Mehlberg. Although I did not start this article, I have a great interest in it because I am a folklorist intersted in drinking songs, toasts and recitations. Eskimo Nell is the later.

If you know a version of Eskimo Nell, please feel free to email me at CONTACT at IMMORTALIA.COM or by visiting my user page and dropping me a note.

Robert Service's metre

The poem shares the same structure and meter as one of Robert Service's famous Yukon poem, 'The Cremation of Sam McGee'.
