Jólakötturinn
A Ghazal Inspired By The Yule Cat
Introduction
I found this in a Facebook article which explains the real legend, but I am just going to use it as a short Ghazal.
In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas.
The music is "Lucifer Sam" by Pink Floyd, with a great video by Steve Bobinski
