Notes About The Poem

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 of child like quality that made him totally unsophisticated and without worldliness.

Albert Einstein

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

Hi Daver, Thanks so much for stopping by to read for me. Great to hear from you again. As for teachers thinking we are limited, aren't we all in one way or another. Thanks bunches, God bless, JB
