Edvard Grieg (15 June 1843 – 4 September 1907) is one of the very few Norwegian composers to achieve a place in the standard repertoire.
Griegorian
To a Nordic composer named Grieg,
There was never ennui or fatigue
In his national tunes,
Which were ageless as runes,
And an old-timey source of intrigue.

Janet Lennon (b. 15 June 1946) is a singer and actress, best known as one of the singing Lennon Sisters.
Wunnerful
Back in the 50s
The sisters began it --
Diane and Peggy
And Kathy and Janet,--
Four singing sisters
Whose last name was Lennon,
A vocal quartet that
There weren’t any men in.
While working for Welk
And his bubble machine,
Their lives and their music
Were spotlessly clean.
