Why do we not hear more of Viking poetry?

There was a viking museum and burial ground at OOD (its only tourist "attraction"). During my travels around the country itself, I also managed to find a recreated Viking village (hugely popular with the heaps of German tourists who drove across the border). In both cases, the stories and the placards were mainly about how Vikings were adventurers and explorers and were fun-loving people who made bread and mead and cute little viking tools and jewellery.

From today's Pearls Before Swine

Heh. Someone should let the Danes know.
