/// The resemblance we see here is plain
to Dwight Schrute, (who had been played by Rainn
Wilson), or else he
looks something like Kelsey
Grammer, (best known as Doc Frasier Crane).

/// Playing “Beast” Kelsey Grammer was scarier
than in “Frasier,” and certainly hairier.
But they’re both alike, too,
for, at times, each got blue
and the Beast sheds, like Eddie, the terrier.

/// But the truth is, this man’s a Norwegian,
who was known through the northernmost region
of Europe as well.
He received the Nobel,
and his honors and prizes were legion.

/// Poet, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson by name,
earned extensive and justified fame.
Poems, novels, and plays,
also left-wing essays;
he could play the political game.

/// When it came to The Dreyfus Affair,
Bjørnson’s essays made readers aware,
Dreyfus should be believed.
The French had been deceived
by a fraudulent anti-Jew scare.

/// This man isn’t a barrel of chuckles.
He recalls when Nuns rapped on his knuckles.
So he clutches a ruler
as he calls again “Beuller?”
When he raps you, your whole body buckles.

> or <

/// While a few blue Norwegians were pinin’,
Hørny Bjørne was with ladies, reclinin’.
Down the fjord they would float
often rockin’ the boat,
makin’ love when not winin’ and dinin’.
