Sir Isaac Newton, so great,
Had the apple been rotten and late,
No physics would have been discovered yet,
No derivations would have ever been set.
Albert Einstein
In science he did shine
With great perceptivity
He gave us the theory of relativity
Relativity was buzzin'
With many theories, a dozen?
He took it a bit far
Some found it quite bizarre
When he married his own cousin!
Einstein met his first wife in school
He found her to be real cool
But he divorced her soon
To relativity's tune!

Far away from Planetarium with kite.
We saw a painting on a high concrete wall...
He said, "Spoliarium, too big and too tall!"

Then we ran.
