The pencil and eraser

Came together

And birthed out

A calculator.

"Goodness me"

Cried out the neighbor

For no one has ever

Seen a calculator.

Despite the worried glances

The surprised parents loved him just the same.

Although they were expecting

A Normal babe

They did not discriminate

Against his race.

For he was naturally gifted

In the field of maths.

Something that, alas,

His parents couldn't contrast.

They were creative

Yet he was not.

They were short

Yet he was tall.

The loved him all the same

When no one else would.

And so

I guess

The moral of the story

Is to be different

From the rest,

For truly,

It's for the best.
