In WW2 Sweden sheltered
Jews in desperate need
Today Swedes burn a Torah scroll
a brutish, dastardly deed

Americans come by the clock
A British lass just hikes her frock
The French love a tongue
The Swedes like well-hung
But Left or Right Thai knows Bangkok!

They scoot up trees with the greatest of ease
Then down again, like Swedes on skis
Exquisite balance changing gears
They zoom around throughout the years
Wherever you live, city or rural
Feast your eyes upon a whip-tailed squirrel

never smoke she said,
cigarette dangling from her mouth.
ashes falling into my oatmeal
I nodded my head, dutifully.
always tell the truth, he said,
he called in sick to his boss,
we went to the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.
don't ever gossip, said my grandma.
before telling us all the rumors she had ever heard
about the neighbors.
never generalize people, Uncle Louie said,
unless they are Irish, English, or Swedes.
You cannot trust any of them.

We never used an ATM
In Stockholm, on our trip.
The guide on our free walking tour
Took dollars for a tip.
For every other purchase
We used charge cards like the Swedes,
Since coins and bills, it seems, are things
Today nobody needs.
A sign in a museum
Made the point with quite a splash:
"We accept just who you are but we
Are not accepting cash."
How strange to visit someplace
With no currency in hand.
Perhaps someday all cash will be
Considered contraband.

The cold generation
They don’t dance the tango in Argentina anymore
but you can do the twist alone but keep your distance.
However, the elegant the waltz is out, superb dresses
is not a defence against the virus.
To do the swing is awkward to without a hand to hold
on to, I don’t know about square dance though.
We are becoming a withdrawn society, like the Swedes
they are not famed for warmth and kisses.
That is the way they have *****-industry to make up for
the lack of intimacy.
