I think most poets think Service wrote doggerel, but not many of them have dozens of people making a living reciting their poems, and bookstores loaded with their poems and people reciting their poems around the campfire from memory, and people like me who remember parts of their poems I memorized fifty years ago. It's the same with Louis L'Amour novels. The intelligentsia laugh at them, and he laughs all the way to the bank from his grave two decades after he died. Few grocery store book stands lack at least one Louis L'Amour novel. There are strange things done In the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold And the Northern Lights have seen queer sights That would make your blood run cold... ... A bunch of the boys were whooping it up In the Malamute Saloon... etc. All from memory fifty years old.
