Viking Genes
First we saw some skinny dippers
Jump in the canal.
Guess that's not unusual
Today for this locale.
Then we saw two twenty-somethings
Going for a dip.
With temps down in the 40's
That is something I could skip.
My husband asked them if this was
A part of their routines
And how they did it in the cold -
They answered, "Viking genes."
We're here in Copenhagen
So perhaps their claim is true
But being from New York I think
They must have lost a screw!
