He's the awe inspiring genius
Who lives just down our lane.
He wears a size twelve trilby hat,
To protect his massive brain.
He can lecture Einstein's theory
And his maths are quite the tops,
He knows algebra and calculus
Why -- his talent never stops.
He speaks a dozen languages
From French to Double Dutch,
He composes classic music
With Tchaikovsky's royal touch.
He can make a Caesar salad
That makes angels shout for more,
And his recipe for strogonoff
Makes even lions roar.
His wife says "he isn't perfect
He can be a wrong shaped peg,"
She would even try to tell you
"He can't even boil an egg.
He's a real dunce on the home front
And at times he's such a pain,"
But to us, he's still the genius
Who lives just down our lane.
NORMAN COOMBES, Spring Lane, Blackburn.
