The Duke of Norr

There was a man, renouned through his land,
he was the Duke of Norr.
Greatly feared, and greatly admired,
he was the Napolean of his day.
His lands stretched from asia to london, it is told,
And as his realm grew, so did the greed inside.
Greedy glutton, feast on the poor!
For long and hard was his terrible reign,
but no one could blame it on their king.
"He is not bad, it is we to blame"
so they shuffled as they went.
And bore the burden of the man,
because they could find no fault
with the ones they admired.
