A doggerel series
about the countries of the world.
Denmark.
The home of
Hamlet (king and son—
And neither
was the lucky one:
Both murdered
ere the play was done).
Yes,
Copenhagen (“harbor lights”—
Recall the
song? Those Danish nights?)
Is
capital—with stunning sights.
Remember Smilla’s Sense of Snow?
I bought that
book—gave it a go—
A Danish
mystery novel, Yo.
And, well, I
loved it—front to back.
Then loved
the film (and ate a snack)—
Forgot a lot
(amnesiac?).
I have not
been there—wish I could.
To see the
scen’ry—find the wood,
Ophelia’s
stream … that would be good,
Recite that
famed soliloquy—
I’d see the
sites that I could see.
And stare at
mountain scenery.
