Summer --Creative Challenge #268--




Some are born to greatness by pure twist of fate

They manage to create marvelous inventions

There is never too much for them on their plates

They receive praise and seldom any criticism

 

Far too often their names are lost in history

It is quite the thing, never having to fear a stumble

Many are content to live their lives in obscurity

A truly great man is one who knows how to be humble

 

Stories are told of the world's greatest mathematician

To him mathematics was pure joy, never a bummer

He would marvel people doing huge lists of addition

It was thrilling to watch him; he was a great summer.
