*Francis Kofi Ampenyin Allotey*
Rarefied fields few chose to reach
Mathematical and nuclear physics
Few dare to preach
There are professors and there are professors
Allotey is a colossus of an African professor
Einstein was at Princeton
So was Allotey of Ghana
Einstein did his Theory of Relativity stunt
And turned science on its head,
Allotey brewed his Allotey Effect
And galvanised space travel and computer technology
Both Einstein and Allotey are of an ilk,
Mathematical geniuses who perhaps,
Were fed on special milk
Talk of quantum physics, plasma or thermonuclear reactions,
It is not as smooth as silk
It can make 99.99% people sick,
Like Halley’s Comet,
Such nerds come by
Once in a long while,
Perhaps, every 76 years!
