Medical poem by Guðmundur Thoroddsen.
Guðmundur Thoroddsen was born in Ísafjörður, the son of the poet Theodora and Skúli Thoroddsen.
The blood bank
We were once rich, yes we had more than enough
of British pounds, dollars and kronor,
but somehow we managed to get through it all
and those riches were gone
the sea.
But Benjamin knew how to deal
so the krona number increased,
although it might be possible
something less,
and new banks sprang up and
there were many successes,
such a comfortable guard booth
to find.
And faithful servants received both
power and respect there
and peace of mind and rest in abundance,
because others did the work, yes, as it should be,
Who expects bank managers to be slaves?
One small bank had a building, but no inventory,
so really he was only half,
and there was no enthusiasm for the bank manager's position,
he should have known about banking
and work yourself.
And never will this position be right for a faithful servant,
no, there's not much to do there,
The bank manager will be a complete mess there,
because the big bones all went to the others.
In an interview with Frjálsi þjóð, 9th year, 46th issue, 1960, Guðmundur has this to say about his poetry:
— Finally, I would like to state, says Guðmundur, that I am not a poet,
only a fair amount of wisdom. I haven't written any poetry—just one and a half lines.
