It all started with an idea:
In the time of the roaring 20’s.
His small stature, but big smile:
It shined through the paper like the sun.
It was the start of a idea.

It was his whistle, bob, and smile,
Steering a boat was his job.
They liked to call it Steamboat Willie,
The most brilliant start of it all.
The beginning of a legacy.

They liked to call him Mickey Mouse,
He’s become extraordinary:
The smiling two footed mouse.
He has captivated everyone,
It’s his character that lived on.

Even after 85 years,
His name remains in the lights.
He was joined by a duck and dog,
They kept the legacy going,
Building memories for a lifetime.
