Living Next Door to a Viking

He stands with a spear in his doorway

From Sweden or Denmark or Norway

Iron helmet and beard

It’s just as I feared

I’m living next door to a Viking


He tells me he travels by longboat

Wears animal hide and a fur coat

His favourite drink

Is strong mead, I think

I’m living next door to a Viking


We welcomed him then he betrayed us

Insisting he's set to invade us

Since he first appeared

Things have got quite weird

I’m living next door to a Viking


He’s shining his shields every Sunday

And sharpening swords every Monday

A huge fan of Thor

And weapons and war

I’m living next door to a Viking


An expert on our Middle Ages

Throws tempers and tantrums and rages

Valhalla’s his aim

He’s fighting again!
