Rollo and Floki

Lyrics [Spoken Intro] “They tell stories of great beasts in distant lands. They are wrong. The greatest beasts live in my house… and they shed on everything.” Verse I The morning breaks, the world still slow, My Shield Maiden already goes— Working hard, no time to spare, Holding life together there. Then Rollo wakes the ancient way— Like someone rebooted him mid-day. THUD. Back on floor, full upside down, Snorting like a Hel's own hound. Rubbing face into the rug— Like it owes him money… or a hug. He is not confused. He is committed. Pre-Chorus No dragon’s roar, no warlord’s cry— Just “WOOF” and then a hopeful sigh. Chorus Oh Rollo rolls like destiny forgot him, Sprawled in joy like life just caught him. Tail like thunder, legs in air— No dignity anywhere. And Flóki strikes with silent crime, Breaking space and bending time. One blink gone, next blink near— He’s definitely been everywhere. And she just works through all this noise… My Shield Maiden… surviving “boys.” Verse II Flóki launches—chair to shelf, Living purely for himself. No announcement, no delay— Just suddenly he’s on display. He ricochets off wall and air, Physics files a missing hair. Every surface: launch and fall— He’s not breaking rules at all… He is ignoring them politely. Pre-Chorus The house obeys no law or plan When cat declares: “I think I can.” Chorus Oh Rollo rolls in sacred spin, Like rug-based wrestling must begin. Snorts and flops and proud display— Productivity: far away. And Flóki, ghost of counter space, Has mastered vanishing in place. You turn your head—he’s gone, you see— Now he is on the balcony. And still she works through all this noise… My Shield Maiden… enduring “toys.” Bridge (spoken) “Rollo… why are you upside down again?” thump-wiggle-snort “Flóki… get down from there.” silence “…is that even physically possible?” Breakdown This is not a household. This is a live experiment. Two creatures. One mission: Disrupt everything. Rollo is chaos in slow motion. Flóki is chaos with teleportation privileges. My Shield Maiden is the only known stabilizing force in reality. Final Chorus Oh Rollo rolls like fate gave up explaining, Pure enthusiasm, no containing. A furry avalanche of pride— That somehow lives inside my side. And Flóki bends both time and floor, Then politely asks for more. A shadow with a furry grin— And somehow always sneaks back in. And through it all, she still employs… Strength no saga ever deploys. My Shield Maiden holds the line… While reality declines. Outro Heroes? Yes. Warriors? Sure. But true power? A woman working. A dog who forgot gravity exists. A cat who treats physics like a suggestion box. And me… writing it all down like this is normal.
