Pipe organs of Greenland

There is a seeming endless number of things to research. Through this rabbit trail of facts about Greenland, we are vaguely considering a trip to Greenland. Of course the only way to get there is via Iceland.

In high school
I determined to catalog
All the mammals of the world
On index cards.
Perhaps I was a budding
Zoologist
Or maybe librarian.
Instead I went to college
Studied Classical Greek.
Still
I have catalogued things
Ever since.
In a fit of exploration,
Set off by a random fact
About Greenland,
I found someone has catalogued
All the pipe organs of Greenland,
Including musical works
Played on each one.
Unlike my mammals
Back in high school
There is a known finite number
Of pipe organs
In Greenland.
