Norwegians I Have Met

I married a Norwegian boy Way back in Nineteen-Forty-One. That makes my children Norse by half, My two daughters and only son. My husband, third generation American at time of birth, Never got to see ancestral land "Ere he was taken from this Earth. Most of modern Norwegians claim Lutheran theology their own, But in pagan days they worshiped Gods like Odin, Thor and unknown. Thor wore a belt that gave him power, And a hammer that gave him might. In a storm, thunder is Thor's roar, And his hammer causes bright light. My opinion of Norwegians is They've no use now of Gods like Thor, For they are a very peaceful lot And in favor of war no more.
