Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Made Light

Tom Edison worked many years
Inventing the electric light.
While disbelievers made their jeers,
He kept on trying, day and night.
A thousand ways or more he tried
To find a bulb that would stay lit.
Each time the light just up and died.
Sometimes he thought, "The hell with it."
One night a glow came into life.
The bulb was tested and it passed.
Tom ran upstairs and woke his wife.
"Honey, I've done it at long last."

"It is 3 a.m.." His wife said.
"Turn off that light and come to bed."
