Poem
The Headless Greenlandic Horseman A Meditation in 6 parts. Avalanche I. The sky is starry The night is scary I'm very afraid of the living dead; On a mission; or Fugitives in the city II. The headless Greenlandic horseman speaks Kalaallisut very well indeed, plus Dansk and English! What a man! A polyglot he is! Yes, sir! Although he Is evil and wants to behead Mr. Donn Oh! How horrible! How horrible! The reason being, Donn owes him plenty of money. More than 500.000 bucks! Camera Obscura III. Mikko Donn (whose dad is Finnish) is a fugitive in the city & Hansen, the cowboy from Kalaallit Nunaat, is his hunter; 500.000 U$ is that debt's figure, folks; Oh! This is horrid! Truly horrid for sure! I contemplate upon this very jittery and jumpy Oh, I am scared! Oh, yes! I am scared! Donn's head is at stake--because he's a debtor; Another headless man? And multilingual again? Isn't that whimsical? A headless man wants to decapitate another man and both speak many superb languages! That's admirable! Yes, sir! Spasmodic Apostrophes IV. Ave Hansen, Morituri te Salutant anthropologizing, vexillologizing; Well, Donn's head is still extant. Though, I dare ask, for how long? Equestrian Interregnum V. Fear is what Donn feels even down to his heels; He feels he's gonna puke even though he is a duke! The philanderer's philter will save him no longer The Greenlander and his plug are after him; There's no escape--the event is rather grim; He is doomed. Period. Good-bye, fishmonger! Hurkle! Hurkle! Hurkle! VI. Donn's head is safe now. Why? Because of my idea; Donn is a fish vendor and has a friend who is a surgeon; Therefore, I suggested "What about implanting a fish's head on Hansen? Wouldn't it be nice?" Donn okayed what I said & called his friend, Mr. Sherry, the surgeon. Hansen accepted. They made a deal. Besides the fish's head, Donn has to teach Hansen Suomi, a perfect language. And that's how this tale ends. Hansen and Donn became friends and ate partridges together.
