I was born a poor black child. I grew up in the swampy bayou of Louisiana. At the age of 4, I died of the plague. But did I let this stop me? NO, I DID NOT! Overcoming one obstacle after another, I rose to the dazzling height at which you now see me. Ruler of all I survey. Bow before me, lowly worms for Einstein sleeps at the foot of my bed every night!
