Janice Canerdy Poet Monoku

Notes About The Poem

 

From Losing To Winning

The bankrupt may find fame; we know at least one by name: Disney.


Walt Disney  was fired by a newspaper editor because, "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." After several failed businesses and bankruptcy, his theme parks, movies and merchandise earn billions each year.

Carolyn Devonshire December 25, 2018 at 2:14 AM Gee, I didn't know this about Disney. Can you imagine someone telling him he had "no good ideas"? Kind of makes the rest of us feel better about our little losses along the way. Excellent Monoku! Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn Janice Canerdy December 25, 2018 at 11:26 AM So true, Carolyn!
