Andrea Dietrich Poet Epigram

Notes About The Poem

Inspired by the great new historical drama, the Current War. 

Edison Forever

Westinghouse won the currency war,

but here’s what nobody can ignore:

Edison’s fame forever burns bright

for his phonograph, film, and long-lasting light!

Caren Krutsinger November 8, 2019 at 4:19 AM Yes and Edison's mother was outstandingly outstanding. When she received the note from his teacher after one day at school saying he was "uneducable" she told him the note said he was too smart to go to regular school.
