Day eleven of the Yule Lads - Welcome Doorway Sniffer.



I think Doorway Sniffer is my favourite.  I just might go to Iceland next winter and join up with him on his pre-Christmas run.. sounds like fun.. whoops... rhymes!


Gáttaþefur (Doorway Sniffer)


The eleventh Lad is Doorway Sniffer, a long mustachioed and big-nosed fellow. Now, instead of developing a nasal complex and turning to rhinoplasty, Door Sniffer used his big old snozzola  to his own advantage, seeking out freshly baked goods.  The nose knows!





Icelandic laufabread was the scent
and Doorway Sniffer was just the man

To follow his nose and track down a loaf
Baked freshly in a pan.

To doorway sniffer there was no choice
This bread was the absolute tops

Now if only he could steal a few loaves,
And avoid a meeting up with the cops.

Yes,  Life is Good
