Viking Man

The Viking Man outside my door
  Is fighting to get in
Because I killed his second wife,
 His kith and other kin.

Pity! He should have known by now
 That that's just the way it is.
He messed with my clan first, so
 Why shouldn't I mess with his?

It's gotten pretty gruesome
 Over the past few years.
So little family remains
 In a sea of mutual tears.

Sooner or later it all must end;
 Both sides must have peace.
But until that time the bloodshed
 Will never really cease.
