Lutefisk

The Lutefisk Feed
By Valerie J. Kolle

Open the windows, open the doors,
Air out the church, “Thank Goodness,” it’s just once a year,
Light up some candles, bake up some pies,
Please, do it well, pray, if you’re wise,
Get rid of that Lutefisk smell, I despise!
I enjoy Rommegrot, Krumekakke, Lefse, Fattigman, and Torsk,
Rosettes, Flat-bread, Tapioca in a “Sweet Soup,” ’cause I’m Norwegian, of course.
But, when it comes to that jellied, buttered cod-fish soaked in lye,
I won’t touch it, and “yes,” many times, I have tried!
To some, it’s a treat, but for me, I can’t lie,
I really can’t eat it, smell it, or, I’ll cry.
So,
Open the windows, open the doors,
Air out the church, ’cause it’s just once a year,
Light some candles, bake up some pies,
Please, do it well, if you’re wise,
Get rid of that Lutefisk smell, I despise!
