Bubba, the Awesome
My story’s quite incredible, but every word is true.
I’ll add no wild embellishments, for lying I eschew!
I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to share with you
details of Bubba’s unique life with no further delay.
The morning he was born, this baby slapped the doctor back.
Then Bubba wanted “pancakes, y’all, a golly-whopper stack
with half a pound of bacon, three fried eggs, and coffee—black.”
His folks saw challenges ahead, so they began to pray.
At age five, he was muscle-bound and towered over Dad.
A hero to the weaker kids, he punished every cad
who bullied them. He made the entire neighborhood so glad;
all idolized him, hoping he would never go away.
He was a college grad and Mensa member at thirteen.
His IQ was phenomenal and surely knocked the sheen
off Einstein’s and all Mensans’. It’s for sure no one had seen
the likes of Bubba. In all circles, it was his heyday.
I’d be remiss if I left out he’s now a billionaire,
inventor of the wildly popular THE Perfect Chair
(mychair.com), famed dancer who is better than Astaire,
and well-known chef—all by age twenty. Is there more to say?
At twenty-five, he aims to make the most of precious life.
He has two awesome children and a lovely, brilliant wife.
The couple just invented the amazing Perfect Knife
(myknife.com). This hero’s wondrous fame is here to stay!
Mensa is the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world.
