Ode to a Chicken Bouillon (in Danish)

Jeg er kyllingebouillon
Firkantet
Immobil
En kroton med smag
Indpakket i folie
Forseglet i en krukke
Souper potentiale
Nogen folk er til minestrone
Nogen folk er til gryderet
Jeg er snart suppehøne
Giv mig vand og frigør mig

Translated to Danish by Larry Dahle

I am a chicken bouillon
Square
Unmoving
A flavored crouton
Wrapped in tin foil
Sealed in a jar
Soup potential
Some people are minestrone
Some people are chowder
I am broth to be
Give me water and set me free
