Thomas Alva Edison,
A most unusual boy,
Never really bothered much
With any childish toy.
His teacher thought he
couldn't learn
And sent him home from
school,
​But Tommy's mother knew for
sure
He wasn't any fool.

He worked as newsboy
on a train,
He learned to telegraph.
The way he
concentrated
Made some people
laugh.
Thomas Alva Edison
Had inventions by the
score.
In his laboratory
He kept inventing more.

light
(With fuses, sockets, too),
A super storage battery,
And movies, were a few.
If not for Mr. Edison
How dull our lives would
be!
We might not have the
radio.
The X-ray, or TV!
