Oslo in the summertime nobody can fall asleep
I’m staring out the window from my bed
At 4 a.m. the sun is up
look the sky is peppered with sea birds and with crows all cackling
HVA?
Up in tretten Heimdalsgate
me and Nina making fun of footballers in Rudolf Nilsen Plass
I practice my norwegian on poor befuddled waitress
who shake their heads completely at a loss
Oslo in the summertime the streets are strangely quite ’cause
everyone’s away on holiday
HVA?
Oslo in the summertime Pakistani children play locked inside of the courtyard all day
Pretty people everywhere sun lamp tans and flaxen hair
Just tell the American not to stare
HVA?
My wife and I spent a few summer months in Oslo. This is the story of an American in
Norway. A creature out of it’s element trying to make sense of things. It is very
interesting in Oslo in the summer because the sun only goes down for a few hours
everyday. It is difficult to get used to but it is great because the days are so long and
you can get a lot done. Perhaps it is God’s gift to the Norwegians who suffer so much
during their harsh winters. Just kidding.
