Grēnland unwǣr (Greenland unguarded)

Grēnland unwǣr

“Greedy for Greenland,” the great leader uttered,
Musing on military modes of grabbing.
“Security’s shield,” he shouted out loud,
White House words went forth boldly!

Europe’s earls then entered objections,
Rallying round the riches of Danes.
Pushing back promptly against plans of might,
Frederiksen fierce, flashed her reply:

“If force is flaunted on frozen shores,
Strikes from the States shatters our league;
Broken the bond of bindings sworn,
NATO is nuked—if neighbors clash!”
