Travel Allergic, Not Worried Sick
Onni's eyes puffing up,
A symptom of tears.
He's allergic to trips, yup.
It's not what it appears!
Shaking hands with the dipstick,
They get acquainted forthwith.
He knows some Icelandic.
He's not some fancy wordsmith.
Should have been out on the front.
Out there, he'd be the main man.
Now doing work like a grunt,
Instead of out on the land.
Asking Trond to man the radio,
They're preparing the food.
Trond lets his displeasure show,
Muttering in his servitude!
Radio has Onni's eyes wide.
Its mention has raised a flag.
It seems he was travelling light,
As Taru spots his tiny bag.

In honour of David Bowie's passing here's a one of my favourite songs of his:
Far Man (based on Starman by David Bowie)
Coming sis
Didn't listen when I asked you not to go-oh-oh
I need to use their radio-oh-oh
Our cousin using spells to find some trolls, lost his soul, he bled
Colours on his skin seem to fa-a-ade
The more he sleeps the more grey becomes his fa-a-ace
That with a nosebleed that came more a bloody toll
It's too far man see my puffy eyes
I didn't have an option
But my sister, she could die!
It's too far man and I didn't cry
I tried to keep in contact
But the spirits mystify
I told him:
Lalli never lose it
And don't over use it
Lalli, the spirit chooses
I had to come over so I check on you-oo-oo
Hey, that's far out, I have to get through-oo-oo
Switch on the machine we may make contact on channel two
Send out your signal I can feel alri-i-ight
If you can talk now I can sleep toni-i-ight
Just answer quickly or Tuuri you'll give me a fright
It's too far man, it is not a lie
I didn't have an option
But my sister, she could die!
It's too far man and I didn't cry
I tried to keep in contact
But the shadows mystify
I told him:
Lalli never lose it
And don't over use it
Lalli, the spirit chooses
Far man don't you ask me why
I didn't have an option
I swear I didn't cry!
It's too far man, it is not a lie
I tried to keep in contact
But the shadows horrify
He told me:
I told him:
Lalli never lose it
And don't over use it
Lalli, the spirit chooses
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
