I would like to have this on the article page with the two versions side by side similar to the way To A Mouse was done. I tried but couldn't make heads or tails of how to do it.

Ooksi kooksi coolama vee [1,2,3,4,5]
Saint Urho is the boy for me!
He chased out the hoppers as big as birds
Never before have I heard those words!

He really told those bugs of green
Bravest Finn I ever seen
Some celebrate for St. Pat and his snakes
But Urho poika (boy) got what it takes

He got strong and tall from viili sour
And ate kalamojakka (fish soup) every hour
That's why that guy could chase those beetles
What grew as thick as jack pine needles

So lets give a cheer in our best way
On the sixteenth of March, St. Urho's Day.
