When...

...people go to the Arctic, how do they go,
obviously you can't go in a boat that you row;
science people up there, well, some of them sail,
and, I guess, that's all right if you're hearty and hale.

Some people go on a ship, and get dropped off,
are you joking, you ask, but please don't scoff;
the U S Coast Guard gives them a ride,
and we're leaving now, on the outgoing ride.
