The God-like Brian

Gather 'round children and you shall hear,
A tale of one who is much revered.
Brian Fletcher is his name,
And his legacy is the stuff of fame.

Brian did what few have done,
The trifecta of lawschool he hath won.
He was President of Law Review,
Won Moot Court and graduated Summa too.

Do you know how hard that is to do?
In all of history Summa has been given to
No more than 35 student grads,
So not every class a Summa has!

Such brilliance makes one pause and wonder,
What is it like to have everyone else be under
Your level of sheer genius and mind,
And to be at a pinnacle of human-kind?

Does it make one proud and condescending,
Or provide one with satisfaction unending?
Or does it leave one disillusioned and bored,
Wondering if that's all life can afford?

Needless to say, the good path is thin,
Between the dangers of either sin.
But one truth remains both time and again:
Much is required of whom much is given.

Cute. The best thing about Brian is actually that he is an extraordinarily nice, humble, down-to-earth, unassuming person.
