For the Danes

What is it having a nationality?
Is it a language?
Is it a culture?
Is it having a country somewhere?

Yes to all those and more,
you see, the Danes have a Royal family!
Though it is an irrelevant institution
in today's world of presidents
dictators and whatnots
I think many people who are Danes
will tune in from all over the world
for the first time to hear
the Queen's new years speech
because now we can!
For the first time the Danish National Radio
a very powerful monopoly
will not block the emission.
Therefore, you will find me
at my laptop tomorrow eve somewhere
listening in -
she speaks a beautifully Danish
She is part of our culture
and she is our head of a state.

(According to Oprah we are the Happiest
people on Earth- go figure)

poem - just an immediate, intermittent thought))
