Espen improvises a poem

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Espen chooses the words 'onomatopoetikon' ['onomatopoeia'], 'strengteorien' ['string theory'], 'neverthleless' (yes, just the English word), 'retirasjonkoeffisient' ['retraction coefficient'], and 'fem' ['five']. He then immediately improvised his poem, rather than attempting to spend any time on it. His (translated) poem is as follows: "A poor contestant was dreading so much / the fact that he had to find something that rhymed with 'onomatopoeia'. / He would rather talk about string theory, / because it is tangible and concrete like the bee. / But nevertheless, it went as expected: / he retired with a high retraction coefficient. / And one, two, three, four, five, / the poor contestant rushed off home." Atle is impressed with his improvisation skills, and Espen assures him that his poem would not have been any better after hours of preparation. Atle therefore awards him third place in the task.
