Question:

Olde E...?

One thousand years ago
Ethelred, unready paid
Thirty thousand pounds to the Danes
For two years of peace from their raids
Perhaps if he??d not defica?? ted??
In the Baptismal Font, and in his bed
Olaf Trygvasson??s fleet would have fled
Instead, Ethelred
Ordered them all massa??cred
And on St Brice??s they celebra?? ted
Foot games with heads of the Vikings dead
Sweyn Haraldsson so enraged
Engaged in campaign to win Engl??end
Thrown back in the sea again and again
By Edmund the Ironsi??ed??


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: True Viking mythology... :

Penfold was quizzical; _STUDIES_ pataphysical
Science in the home.
Late nights all alone with a test tube.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

TD Euwaite, majoring in rhyme,
Calls him on the phone.
"Can I take you out to the pictures,
Pen, pen, pen, penfoold?"

But as he's getting ready to go,
A knock comes _FROM_ the door.

Bang! Bang! Odin's silver hammer
Came down upon his head.
Clang! Clang! Odin's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead.

Back in school again Odin plays the fool again.
Teacher gets annoyed.
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant
Sce, e, e, ene,

She tells Odin to stay when the class has gone away,
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times "I must not be
So, o, o, o.."

But when she turns her back on the god,
He creeps up from behind.

Bang! Bang! Odin's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Odin's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

TD Euwaite said, "We caught a dirty one."
Odin stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Stooge and Durden, screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
(Odin must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them
So, o, o, o.

But as the words are leaving his lips,
A noise comes from behind.

Bang! Bang! Odin's silver hammer
Came down upon his head.
Clang! Clang! Odin's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead.
