It might be Dorothy Parker. Will keep looking.

responses very slow misprint Eagle's care later a reference to buzzards

You need an "exact line" of at least 4 words, James, or you will never find it here.

My best advice is to go back to the place you read/heard the poem and seek it there.

Format definitely sounds like a ballad, but net searches turned up nothing when I looked around.

When you took me young and lusty
From the growling russian bear,
Loud you vowed upon the mountain
I would have the (eagles'/eagle's) care ...

Perhaps a Usenet post to alt.culture.alaska might produce results?

Good job, Johnny. I looked for about 5 seconds myself then gave up.

so...you have the following already pre-cut and ready to be pasted?

"You need an "exact line" of at least 4 words, (insert name here), or you will never find it here.

My best advice is to go back to the place you read/heard the poem and seek it there. "

Unless you're a way better typist than I am (which is very likely)
otherwise that means you spent more time replying than looking !

Seriously, though, I DO happen to be a good googler

Nice woik! Or, in Russian, khoroshaya rabota!
