So, farewell then,
Magnus Magnusson (KBE),
Famously linked with
A black leather chair.

You were probably
The most famous Icelander in Britain
Sort of a
More literary Bjork,
Translating books into English
From Icelandic and Norse.

Not only that, as well as being on TV,
You were also president of the RSPB.
I never knew there were so many strings to your bow.
I was startled to learn
You'd been World's Strongest Man
But that turned out to be
Someone else.
