Thomas Alva Edison

Thomas Alva Edison
was known to be reticent
but he decided to make the world bright
so he told them about his kitchen light

Roy Jerden Date: 5/26/2014 3:06:00 PM Edison was a clever inventor and an entrepreneurial genius, like Steve Jobs. The real technical brains were Nikola Tesla's, whom he screwed over quite well. Congratulations on the win! Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/26/2014 2:01:00 PM Dear Ralph, I love your clerihew. Edison is said to have come up with his inspiration for inventions by sitting next to a tin can with coins in his hand. As he started to fall asleep into an "alpha state," the coins would drop and wake him up. This way he remembered the things that often come only on the edge of sleep. Congratulations on your win!
