Olsen's America
Olsen’s America
If a Danish sea captain by the name of Egil Olsen
had discovered America, would it be called
Olsen’s land, and if so would it have become a more
friendly land without ambition to become
a superpower? I would not let the Name Egil come
into it, people would soon change it to eagle and
as we know that is more aggressive.
And since no one had heard of Canada – not many has-
it would have been Olsen all the way to Behring Strait.
He would have to deal with red Indians though, let them
dress the way they wanted and wear fur which,
as we know, is frown upon in Europe; but most of all he
must have kept the with missionaries out.... more
banned them outright.... Funny thing names, America
is like a uniform, fits all sizes, But an Egil Olson would
have had a grey beard and be fond of beer.
