'''Description: '''The Netsilik Innuit Pluvkaq has a wistful and gently melancholic line in verse. He wants to succeed in hunting, fishing and making songs, but he's not very good at any of them. So here is a wistful and gently melancholy celebration of the not-very-successful, which is probably most of us. It makes a change from heroes and the self-important.

{{Text|English|
A wonderful occupation:
Making songs!
But all too often they
Are failures, failures.
A wonderful fate
Getting wishes fulfilled!
But all too often they
Slip past.
A wonderful occupation
Hunting caribou!
But all too rarely we
Excel at it
So that we stand,
Like a bright flame,
Over the plain.}}
