A little mousey man he was <br /> With board, and chalk in hand; <br />And millions were awestruck because <br /> They couldn't understand. <br />Said he: 'E equals Mc2: <br /> I'll prove it true.' <br /> <br />No doubt you can, your marvel man, <br /> But will it serve our good? <br />Will it prolong our living span <br /> And multiply our food? <br />Will it bring peace between the nations <br /> To make equations? <br /> <br />Our thanks are due no doubt to you <br /> For truth beyond our ken; <br />But after all what did you do <br /> To ease the lot of men? <br />How can a thousand 'yous' be priced <br /> Beside a Christ?<br /><br />Robert William Service<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/einstein/
