Denmark had no standing army.
No standing army
could have resisted the Nazi swoop
over the threshold to Norway.
Denmark chose welfare rather than weapons
(but not the welfare of pigs).
Almost all countries now
(except Sikkim, Bhutan, Panama,
Iceland, small island nations
and the Vatican City) prefer
to spend money on arms
rather than welfare
or Earth-friendly farms.
