Yuletide Lad No.6: Askasleikir (Bowl Licker)

Askasleikir (Bowl Licker) hides under beds, and if someone puts his wooden food bowl on the floor, he grabs it and licks it clean...


Bowl Licker, the sixth one,
was shockingly ill bred.
From underneath the bedsteads
he stuck his ugly head.

And when the bowls were left
to be licked by dog or cat,
he snatched them for himself
– he was sure good at that!
