Gen-I-I

What makes a Genius appear to be As clever as you or me What makes them brainy, sure to excel The next few lines are sure to tell Various subjects show their form For you and me, it's not our norm Literature, Poetry or Mathematics Turns their brain, leaves ours static Einstein, Curie and Jimmy Carter In their fields they become Masters Child prodigies as young as three You have to admire what they have in thee When you look at them with the naked eye You would never think they were Gen-i-i

James, Gen-i-i (smiling again) You never know where you may find one. And you're right. They are genious enough to live true to themselves and to understand humanity with no need to flaunt. Wonderful write. I'm enjoying your work. But I keep getting distracted by your poetry titles as I scan down the list to my goal- to read your addiction poem. I'll get there, though. Dane
