Viking in Disguise
My distant relatives were not so nice
Old Uncle Sven and Aunt Helga were nice enough,
I guess, but holiday’s were lacking something,
people used to attest to that fact
I don’t know, Odenmas doesn’t quite have
the same ring as Christmas, now does it?
And Halloween? Instead of going door-to-door,
begging for treats, they’d go from village to village,
plundering; and they’d dress up all right,
dress up as Vikings; and when the neighbors saw them coming,
they’d panic, and bury the candy
Yes, I’m a Viking in disguise; Scandinavian half way
The other half is Irish, so you’d do well not to piss me off!

What is that I can see coming through the fog. Is it a Vikish hoard? Quick hide the candy. Oh no, it's all right, its only Mike with stripy tights and a hat with horns. Dibs

Stripy tights? Maybe I'm not as much of a Viking in Disguise as I thought!
Well, we share the Irish but not the Scandinavian. The Celts could be pretty lethal too! And Odenmas, Mike....it could catch on if enough people think they can make money from it! Loved it.
