Agara Gagara by Stefan S. Stefansson.

  The poem goes as follows in icelandic: 

                                    Vambara þambara þeysingssprettir

                                    því eru hér svona margir kettir,

                                    agara gagara yndisgrænum,

                                    illt er að hafa þá marga á bænum.
