He was genuinely noble, talented, and kind
Persistence matched his genius for probing the mind
An altruistic humanist with a secret penchant for the spiritual
He discovered safe bio-degradable uranium
He also wrote some sonnets
And a couple of novels
Composed a symphony
And re-designed the hovel
By the time he was thirty he’d united the nations
Not long after he went on an expedition
The fruits of which (gained without ambition) paid for a college
Dedicated in his name
Where people could study his claims to fame.

(p.s. he also slept with…)
