I salute and extol as we should super brain Albert Einstein,
whose cerebral prowess an ultimate flowering vine,
of quirks he had many consult the sticking tongue picture,
he tired of that smile so inane as a permanent stricture.
Albert Einstein,
a friend of mine, plays the violin so fine -
hire him for a birthday or festivity,
and ask him about relativity.
Altho' it's not E=mc squared,
Albert was heard to theorise
when he declared,
"Carrots are relatively good for the eyes,
it's a fact
they'll make you see well and look good too,
I'm blinding you with science,
it's not hoodoo or a voodoo act."
He then asserted,
with a wicked grin,
"It only hurts when you put them in."
Today I’m grateful for imagination…and for the wisdom of Albert Einstein…
Whose knowledge and imagination were truly grand…
Who said knowledge is limited to only what we know and understand….
Who reminded us how imagination can take us to unknown worlds and unknown lands
embracing entire universes and all there ever will be…
to know and understand.

(The New Room: April, 2024)
Albert Einstein was an interesting guy,
Indisputably smart and reputedly shy.
His legacy's statistical,
But had he been more egotistical,
Instead of E=mc2, he might have called his theory "Me, myself, and pi".

Iconic, late Austrian physicist, Albert Einstein.
As he aged, so did his mind, like fine wine.
The general theory of relativity, he formulated.
Great man of science; a genius highly celebrated.
Albert you were an inspiration to my life
you were like my second father
you had taught me to keep the ancient words
from Genesis to Revelation
strapped to my heart like a locket
Remember on Sunday mornings
I used to rest my miniature body
into your lap like a furry little kitten
massaging your bald played head
while everyone looked on with envy
and labeled me your little pet
Albert thank you for being the shepherd
of your flock of sheep
you had watched mother
sprung up from childhood to womanhood
Albert thank you for all of the memories
you have in my life
I will always cherish every minute of those
We thank you for all of the time
you had spent with us here in earth
and I hope we will meet you again
on the golden shore in the heavenly skies above us
Superb, singing mimics without lyrics
Unperturbed and dancing in gymnastics
Albert, buzzing sirens with mnemonics
Swinging with dozens of antics
Got tickets to the game tonight.
In Cardinal Red, it's pure delight.
With seats along the first base line,
It's sending chills down my spine.
Here he comes, Albert the Great!
His bat in hand, I just can't wait.
The crowd's electric, on their feet.
THE SWING! bat and ball did meet.
To Big Mac Land, it found it's place.
Around the bases he did race.
The team all waited at home plate.
Still his ego would not inflate.
One more record for the books.
All Redbird fans with joyful looks.
Go Crazy Folks! Jack would say.
It still rings true at Busch today.
Without time
wonder stops
Questions flounder
barren crops
Without time
motion falls
Beginnings vacant

Keola - Albert Einstein
I live a happy LIFE
It IS LIKE a fairy's sparkle
Like a vast wildlife
Like Kids RIDING up the Parkhill
Like A BICYCLE decorated with flowers
Like dreams filled with unicorns
Like peacocks dancing TO the showers
Like orphanages that happily KEEP the newborn
I don't know about YOUR but
My life has a BALANCE
YOU MUST not complain
But KEEP MOVING on

Einstein’s numbers predicted it.
Alas, this classic physicist rejected it.
Tiny, entangled particles in mutual dependence
Separated by the longest distances.
Spooky action at a distance,
We cannot grasp this miracle,
Yet, science verifies the fact.
Objects the size of Buckyballs
Can link trillions of miles apart.
This communication or teleportation
ten thousand times faster than light!
Yes, au revoir light speed,
From your limits are we freed!
Spooky action at a distance,
Engineers dream of quantum computers.
Might we also harness this quandary
To reach the outer edges of space?
Might this anomalous principle
Account for certain sky visitors,
Objects authoritatively recorded,
Abruptly perishing in our clouds?
Spooky action at a distance.
We are so sorry uncle Albert
we will all miss your crazy Thanksgiving talk.
I am so sorry uncle
I have done nothing all day
but drift away to Never-Never land.
Peter Pan sends his regards,
but sorry to say
Tinkerbell is still mad at you.
You should have restrained your natural impulses
when she, in a low-cut costume,
leaned over that large bird,
but we do understand the temptation.
By the way uncle
your life was a carbuncle
but you cared, and we all defend
your god given right to be dumb.
We will leave an empty space for you
this coming blow-out.
Sorry uncle for this turkey song
I have nothing left to say
and you are dead and gone.
anyway.
Sorry.
