He was an average, ordinary teenage boy.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then he slipped and fell, tripping over a toy.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He was hospitalized with a concussion.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

His accident caused quite a disruption.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Several days later he started seeing numbers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He could do math without any blunders.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before, he was an average math student.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, at math, he was very prudent.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He did math like a computer in his head.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, he was well enough to leave his bed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He was tested in many ways.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He never failed to amaze.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He was faster than a super computer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

100% accurate with all computes here.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He did it all in his head without problem.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Any problems given, \u00a0he would solve them.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

His fame spread far and wide.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Soon, he was carrying himself with pride.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He was asked to work for NASA.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“<\/i><\/b>Can you solve what we ask ya?”\u009d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He could with no problem at all.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

His word would be the final call.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, on a manned flight into space.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A problem arose that needed haste.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He was called in to help.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He could solve the problem in time, they felt.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On his way he tripped and fell.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hit his head hard, they could tell.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When he woke up he knew no math.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He was less than average now in that.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

His days of fame and glory were over.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He could not have felt any lower.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He felt like he could flip his lid.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

His flame burned out long before his legend did.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, he is again an average high school kid.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, it was great remembering all that he did.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
