Nick Offerman Recites an Ode to Firewood on ‘The Tonight Show’

Nick Offerman glided onto the set of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday and recited a poem about firewood. He sat in a chair next to a stack of firewood and delivered the poem that went with the grain of what we know of Offerman.

The Founder star’s well-known love affair with wood includes running a woodshop, carving canoes, and even writing a book, Good Clean Fun: Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Woodshop.

Offerman even seemed to tear up while reciting the piece, but he was able to cheer himself up with a cold brew at the end.

Here is his poem to keep you warm in the cold nights of winter:

Firewood, oh firewood. You are my one true friend.

I love to chop you in my yard and stack you, end to end.

Up and down, and up again, I swing my trusty axe.

Splitting each piece right in half with the sound of my mighty thwacks.

And when that pile gets high enough, I’ll shed a single tear.

For there is no wood left to chop, yet I am still right here.

Firewood, oh firewood. Today you’ve served me well.

I’ll crack open a cold beer, and I’ll see all you sons of bitches in hell.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.
