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.
