Loki and the Jotuns
are coming to your town,
marching through the streets,
greeting everyone they chance to meet.
Shaking every cymbal,
tapping every tambourine
laughing in the sunshine
as they sing a sweet refrain...

Loki and the Jotuns
are coming to your town
discordia never felt so good,
Hel never scorned you
with such wide open arms,
Midgard does the Jotunheim rock
and Surt puts on a pyrotechnic show--

Loki and the Jotuns
are coming to your town
leaping over barriers of hate,
sliding through cracks in your consciousness,
Hammer and tongs sound like a gong,
and cowbells ring in the distance.

Loki and the Jotuns
are coming to your town
people dance to beat,
oh yes, everyone they meet,
gets up to tap their feet.
I can hear the bleat of a goat
lonely of Loki, looking for a ball,
wanting one more dance
just one more chance--
He's Loki's eternal fan--

Loki and the Jotuns
are hanging up their hats,
they've played their last song
wondering where it all went wrong;
They're ready to sit back and talk
of the glory days
when it was all just a 'purple haze'--
Let's hear it for Loki and the Jotuns.

I wrote this poem as a kind of in joke because a member of my Kindred conceived of Loki and the Jotuns as a band as it were... And we thought it was a funny thing. We didn't know what kind of band they would be per se... So we had different images running through our heads. This was one of them. I figured it would be fun to post. I don't think they would truly ever hang it up but I thought after the Goat, Loki might be persuaded not to be so 'accessible' as it were... And it's a fun way to end the poem. Truly. It's a comedic piece after all... Hope no one who reads this at a later date takes this as an insult to Loki I'm sure he won't.
