Well now, let me tell ya ’bout this Denmark countryside. It ain’t like that fancy city, Copenhagen, no sir.
It’s a whole different story out there, ya know? It’s quiet, real quiet. You can hear the birds singin’ and the wind blowin’ through the trees. Reminds me of back home, ‘cept the trees look a bit different and the birds sing a different tune.
- They got farms, lots of ’em.
- And fields, big ol’ fields stretchin’ out as far as the eye can see.
- And them little houses, all cute and cozy-like.
I saw some pictures once, in a magazine my grandbaby left behind. Them houses, they look sturdy, ya know? Built to last, not like them flimsy things they put up nowadays.
And the land, oh the land! It’s flat, mostly. But then you get these little hills, just poppin’ up out of nowhere. And the water, there’s water everywhere. Lakes and streams and, I hear, the sea ain’t too far off neither.
Now, I ain’t been there myself, mind you. But from what I seen in them pictures and what I heard tell, it’s a peaceful place. A good place to raise a family, I reckon. Folks are friendly, or so they say. They wave when you pass ’em on the road, and they’ll stop and chat if you got the time.
They got animals too. Cows and pigs and chickens, just like back home. But they also got these fancy sheep, with wool so white it looks like snow. And them horses, big and strong, like somethin’ outta a fairy tale.
I heard tell they got some old castles too. Big ol’ stone buildings, where kings and queens used to live. Can you imagine? Kings and queens walkin’ the same land I’m talkin’ about right now. It’s kinda mind-bogglin’, ain’t it?
And the food, I hear the food’s good. Fresh vegetables and meat, and all sorts of tasty treats. They got this bread, they call it “rugbrød,” it’s dark and heavy, but it fills ya up good. And the cheese, oh the cheese! They got all kinds, from mild to sharp, and it all tastes like heaven.
Now, I ain’t one for fancy travelin’. I like my own porch swing and my own garden just fine. But if I was ever gonna go somewhere far away, I reckon Denmark might be a good choice. It seems like a place where a body can slow down and appreciate the simple things in life. Ya know, like a good cup of coffee in the mornin’ and a warm fire on a cold night.
They say it’s a “Scandinavian” country, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, but from what I can tell, it ain’t all that different from any other countryside. Just good folks livin’ off the land, tryin’ to make a livin’ and raise their families. And that’s somethin’ I can understand, no matter where you are in the world.
I also heard they got tours and things for them city folk who come visitin’. They can go on hikes and see the sights and learn all about the history. But me, I’d rather just sit on a porch and watch the world go by. That’s my kind of tour, ya know?
So yeah, that’s what I know about the Denmark countryside. It ain’t much, but it’s somethin’. And who knows, maybe one day I’ll get to see it for myself. But even if I don’t, I can still picture it in my mind, that peaceful land with its friendly folks and its beautiful scenery. It sounds like a good place, a real good place.
If you ever get a chance to go, you should. Tell ’em ol’ Martha sent ya. They might not know who I am, but that’s alright. Just tell ’em you heard it was a good place to visit, and they’ll take care of ya. Folks are good like that, most of ’em anyway.
And don’t forget to bring back some of that “rugbrød”, I’d sure like to try it sometime. Maybe with a nice cup of tea. Yep, that sounds just about perfect.
