Scandinavia

Scandinavia 

Finland is the whitest country in the world 
I read and according to the article in 
the Sunday paper, happy in their whiteness
People in Scandinavia tend to be pale-faced
Sweden too, was white and still is, but lately 
people from Muslim countries have muscled 
in and disturbed the cohesion, which leaves
many a Swede worried about the future and
Greta Thunberg, will she convert and use 
a face veil? I think not, she fills out her jeans 
looks like a woman, although of small stature 
Norway, another white country, is wealthy 
selling oil and gas products to anyone who
needs to fill a tank, but since Elon Musk 
visited, they were flattered as it is not often
anyone famous visits this ashen race
When he left, people bought electric cars 
to save the ambient and sled dogs
The chalky people of Norway are not alone
there are the Sami people up north not far
from the Border of Russia, they also want
a share the riches
One would think. when people go electric
but keep selling pollution should bother them
not at all hypocrisy is alive and well
Whatever happens, self-interest rules ok.  
At last, we have the Danish, who have a sweet national song, big container ships and a king
that rides in the park
But I think what makes the Dane happy is 
the knowledge they are not Germans
