A Swede, A Dane And Two Norwegians Poem by Donal Mahoney

Everyone who has money
should drop it in a vat and
anyone who needs money

should take what they need
a Swede, a Dane and two
Norwegians tell Fred, also an

economist who flew in from Yale.
After a three-day seminar in the
Antarctic, the four men sit down

with tankards of ale, each comfy
in a chaise lounge chair on
an ice floe slowly melting.

Back at Yale, CNN interviews Fred
about his book on the seminar.
The CIA is now investigating.
