Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
His teachers thought his abilities limited,
But his genius went down in history,
And his brain, after death, was exhibited.




Albert Einstein
Born: March 14,1879
Died: April 17,1955

Einstein died of an aortic aneurism at the age of 76 and the pathologist removed his brain to study it and find out what made him so intelligent.
His peers said he was a man with a child like quality that made him totally unsophisticated and without worldliness.

Amazing man of his time, perhaps he had a clearer view, the knowledge is there for the seeker, inspiritation of the few, knowledge realisation, when you really know what to do, sometimes...

I like how you kept to the historical facts and also they were entertaining as a clerihew is supposed to be. I don't know how I ever missed this one, as I've been trying to keep up on all the clerihew around here. GREAT job, and congrats on your win.
