Walt Kelly poem about the Aurora Borealis

I have carried this in my head for 60 years—something about ‘roar a roar’ appealed to me. It was in a collection of Pogo comic strips. Now I have an excuse to share. Hope you saw just as much as you wanted.

O roar a roar for Nora
Nora Alice in the night
For she has seen Aurora Borealis burning bright
A furor for our Nora
And applaud Aurora seen!
Where throughout the summer has our Borealis been?

—Walt Kelly
