They don't understand a word of u

 

She urged Einstein to dress decently,

"Put attires in a professional manner

"Why should I? he invariably argued,

all know me there, u need not bother"

 

To attend his first major conference,

Mrs. begged him to dress up a bit well

"Why should I?" he gave a stern reply

"don't care, no one knows me there!"

 

"Put a hand on d' hot stove for a minute,

it senses like an hour, packed with pity

sit with a pretty girl, gossip for an hour,

it seems a minute, d' theory of relativity!"

 

On back home, forgot d' home address,

he, a professor at Princeton university

asked d' cab driver if he knows Einstein

"want to meet him? well known in d' city"

"I am Einstein, forgot my home location",

d' driver disbelieved, felt as if in a dream

when security saluted at his home gate,

he not even collected his fare from him

 

Once travelling from Princeton on a train,

d' conductor came down punching tickets

ticket not found in vest /trouser pocket,

insanely checked d' briefcase, didn't get

D' conductor said I know you personally,

don't worry, I'm sure you bought a ticket

d' physicist was on his hands and knees,

to look beneath d' seat, after he had left

D' conductor rushed back, politely said

"I know who u are, you had it, I'm sure"

"Young man, I as well know who I am,

but where I'm going, I don't remember"

 

If I'm not a physicist, what next I can be,

a musician no doubt, music is my gaiety

I think in music, dream music, love music,

love, an able teacher than d' sense of duty

 

He told Chaplin, "I most admire your art,

u say no words yet d' world interprets you"

Charlie said your glory is far more greater,

though they don't understand a word of u
