For those of you that know how important Sven has become in my life I want you all to know that I finial found a picture of him.
For those of you that do not know about Sven he is his saga:
The Saga of Sven Pig Herder
Born on a Viking Ship out on the Sea,
Son of Thor he would always be,
He herds pigs for you and me,
killed a vicious rabbit when he was only three.
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home
When Sven was born Valhalla rocked with a grand cheer
As Thor and Odin toasted with a horn of beer
For here was what they’d waited for a child this grand
To spread the word of liberty throughout the land
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home
Sven’s mother was a peasant woman that is true
She reared him to believe good deeds were far to few
She taught him men were equals and to honor all
She taught him kings were tyrants that they all should fall
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home
Sven warded pigs with his grand whip and pointy stick
And enemies they felt his lash and deadly kick
No beast nor tyrant dared to fight the mighty Sven
He is the hero of the Norse and of all men
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home
King Hroagar needed Sven to build a mighty hall
The foremost under heaven stories do recall
He built it out of timber that was clad with gold
Then shared a horn with Beowulf as legend had foretold
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home.
Beowulf and Sven they were the best of men
Then Grendal came to Mead Hall and attacked Sven’s pen
Beowulf and Sven they fought all though the night
To keep Sven’s pigs from slaughter from the Grendal blight.
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home.
The Valkyrie sing the praises of this son of Thor
Sven Herder’s legend grows and grows forevermore
The Valkyrie they all want him for their very own
For Sven will always rise above an earthly throne
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home
When Eric needed help to find the new Vineland
Sven offered up his help to Eric and his band
They sailed away from Iceland to this far off shore
Where Sven he let his sow make piglets with his boar
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home
Sven heard about some trouble with a fleece of gold
Jason needed help from Sven we’ve all been told
Sven jumped upon the Argo and away he sailed
Jason had the fleece cause Sven, its true, he never failed
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home.
Sven sailed from Spain in fourteen hundred, ninety two
Out with ole’ Chris Columbus and his valiant Crew
He took Columbus and his crew to ole Vineland
He had been there before with Eric and his Band
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home
Sven lives in every man who seeks for liberty
From humble birth to riches as the case may be
For freemen’s blood is always rich and blue as blue
All men are equals with no kings, Sven knows it’s true
Sven, Sven Pig Herder
Valhalla shall be his home
Here is a statue of Sven
