Columbus Day
In 1492, we’re told,
Columbus sailed the seas.
He thought he’d get to India,
But had no guarantees.
We learned in school about his ships
And how from Spain he sailed.
He made it to our shores and so,
He only partly failed.
We’ve honored him for many years.
There’s no sign we’ll be stopping;
And so, to celebrate the day,
We’ll spend our free time shopping!
