The Mathematician
He was framed on the wall with his face
Peered with the greatest of science
Such revered and prominent place
Still waiting for final compliance
That a formula without defiance
Should explain his life what it meant
And in mathematically perfect alliance
In a theorem overly smooth without dent
Give proof even straight lines are bent
