Vikings in Victoria

Vikings’ exhibition
Would express
Clever curiosity  from
Three  Aussie kids
Why how where
They came from?

The boisterous boys
Both had the thumb
Of the wily Vikings
Some hereditary feat
Fabulously lacking
In prior generations.

The ships the hammer
Of the thunder Thor
Living in Asgaard
All the plentiful pantheon
Simultaneously simple
People passed to new faith

Plundering and pilfering
Along everywhere in Europe
But names and laws
Still have rightful roots
From this changing time
Where Vikings travelled

So three times Norse
Show up in sunny
Victoria as Vikings
Villagers stop at nothing
young and yearning
Rambunctiously right
To know the why and who.
