a/n: No characters from the Big Bang Theory belong to me, and I make no profit from them. This is simply for fun.

This is for Ultrawoman; I finally got round to writing it:-)

A few words about the individual elements which make up the Big Bang Theory-starting with Mr Cooper


1/ Sheldon Cooper


A CAT scan built at home

Defines a childhood like no other.

An evolution doubting,

Bible quoting,

Loving mother.

A guinea pig revealed

And, seconds later,

Up in flames;

Playmates laughing at

Not with him,

Mystified by games.

A brother and twin sister,

Mom describes as

"Dumb as soup".

No explanation needed why

Young Sheldon

Flew the coop.

~0~

An IQ numbered higher

Than most people can conceive.

A genius;

Emotionally and socially

Naive.

An expert in his field

With quite a wealth of

General knowledge

Who struggles to connect

With those who went to

Local college.

~0~

A stickler for the same routine;

Same sofa place,

Same meals;

He understands the universe

But not how someone feels.

An interest in ephemera,

From Marvel to Sci-Fi

Yet ordinary social trends

Completely pass him by.

~0~

Untroubled by his neighbours' charms,

However cute and pretty;

But softer traits are glimpsed

With Moonpie, Mee-Maw,

And "Soft Kitty"

A stranger to the "bedroom arts",

Romance just leaves him cold;

Yet sometimes,

Like the rest,

He simply needs a hand to hold.

Those friends

Who tolerate his quirks;

Are few and far between;

And willing to accept

What contact

With this man might mean.

~o~

He sticks to his own world-view

Like a limpet sticks to rock;

Rock, scissors;

Scissors, paper;

Paper, lizard;

Spock.
