Leon Theremin (28 August [O.S. 15 August] 1896 – 3 November 1993) was a Russian and Soviet inventor, most famous for his invention of the theremin.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Speculative Scenario

The kith and kin

Of Theremin

Objected from the first;


The eerie, thin,

Disturbing din

Brought out their very worst.


If they were in

When he’d begin,

They slammed their doors and cursed.


Was it a sin

To show chagrin

When he was so immersed?


With skin so thin

It might have been

A double win

To leave while he rehearsed.
