Glacial Ice, you came twice Early and Late Wisconsin.

Old Grey till, outwash spill, imbricated deposits.

Basil till of the Horicon, makes for excellent drumlins.

Scuppernong, not so long, 'till the loess is upon us.

Glacial Ice, oh how nice! How you molded the landscape.

Sichelvanne, Muschelbruch, Wienerschnitzel and Sauerkraut!

Some people claim that they're formed by floods, others glacial scouring.

But glacial ice is our device for late Wisconsin erosion!

Frazil Ice, Jesus Christ! Who comes up with these theories!

Deforming till? I doubt it will! Decoupling seems less mysterious.

All the world's formed by subglacial floods. Why not glacial badgers?

Glacial ice is more precise, from Wisconsin's perspective!
