In Boston town, where Cheers was found,
Lived Norm Peterson, a legend renowned,
George Wendt played him with a grin so wide,
A beloved character, by our side.
He'd walk into the bar, with a familiar stride,
The crowd would yell his name, and he'd take his pride,
A running gag on the show, that brought us delight,
Norm was a fixture, shining so bright.
With six Emmy nominations, he made his mark,
For outstanding supporting actor, a true work of art,
He played the lovable Norm, with a heart of gold,
A character we loved, a story to be told.
He reunited with the cast, at the Emmy Awards night,
A celebration of his career, a shining light,
Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman, Kelsey Grammer too,
John Ratzenberger, all there to see him through.
He acted in movies, like Dreamscape and more,
Forever Young, and Gung Ho, we adore,
He even starred in a music video, so fun,
Black or White, with Macaulay Culkin, everyone.
He was married to Bernadette, since 1978 so fine,
With three children, a loving family of his own divine,
And Jason Sudeikis, his nephew, so bright,
A comedian and actor, shining with delight.
Ted Danson said goodbye, with a heavy heart so true,
"I'll miss you Georgie, it's going to take me a while to get through",
Cheers Boston paid tribute, with a picture so sweet,
"George, you'll always have a stool, at our bar to meet".
Melissa Joan Hart, remembered him with a smile so wide,
"He was warm, professional, and kind, a gift to our side",

A legend gone, but his memory will forever love.
