I know that it seems silly,
But some Swedish folk are miffed,
On the Euro, they're a willy,
And the Swedes feel they got stiffed.

To top it off, the willy's limp,
It's size not much to see,
Their country is a wee-ish shrimp,
For all the world to see.

Some might say, is just small deal,
The Swedes just should have laughed,
But some Swedes in anger squeal,
Because they are the shaft.

The world it can be callous,
The Swedes would call it malice,
I suspect it would all gall us,
If our country was a phallus.

It seems Norway was left off the map of the Euro dollar and Sweden has been interpreted by some as resembling a...er...
in any event, I hope I have not offended anyone and that the poem is taken in the proper light..
just goes to show, whatever happens in the world, we still at times take ourselves too seriously..

and I hope my Swedish ancestors are not rolling over in their graves.

ALL of my ancesters are Swedish - and I'm sending them this poem for critique...

I expect they'll appreciate your "wee" bit of humor and exonerate you...
