Christopher Columbus Limerick

Christopher Columbus’s claims were outlandish.
Queen Isabella was truly upstandish.
The court said he would fall off the edge.
So they bombarded him with mean sledge.
The queen still gave three ships to trycandish.

Although I'm no fan of Columbus... I admire Queen Isabella's pluck for wanting to support something that hadn't been done before.

Hahaha! Yes, I'm sure that was it (the untold story...)!

I love her adventurous spirit myself. Who knows? Maybe Christopher Columbus's voice was annoying and she just wanted to get rid of him.

I picture her truly wondering whether he would ever come back, but wishing to prove something and having the power to do something about it.
