One Man, Giant Vision

Chicago, Illinois was his birthplace.
He was a man of the white race.
A move to a small midwestern town,
And an idea for a famous street formed in his crown.

In school, he realized he loved to draw,
Beautiful drawings with crayons his teacher saw.
Taking photographs became the norm,
And ideas for cartoons began to form.

As a young adult, he lived in Kansas City.
His animated films were quite witty.
He made laugh-o-gram sketches,
That were met with great successes!

He moved to California for a fresh start.
Creating cartoon characters became his heart.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy too,
Fairy tales, animated movies, and clothes to name a few.

But his work was not done.
He built a theme park so people could have fun!
Disneyland because his creation,
He left a legacy for our nation.
