Poem about Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking is a man
That wrote a book about black holes because he can
His book was London’s bestseller for four years
It took him a lot of time and tears
It’s called A Brief History of Time
Even though he doesn’t have much time
Because he has ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease
He describes himself as "lucky"
Like Lou Gehrig did when he called himself the luckiest man on the face of this earth

He built a computer with his friends
That had no end
He was born to Dr. Frank Hawking, a research biologist,
And Isobel Hawking, a political activist
He attended the University of Cambridge
Where he studied Physics
Like a maniac
His goal was simple
“It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.”
