Columbus

When Morning Star saw Standing Bear
She could make love right then and there
Then Columbus came
And cursed it a shame
Now Justice rules who, how, and where!

It's hard to find "justice" in today's world. Everything seems like it's been turned upside down. Wish Columbus would have stayed away from our Native Americans! Great limerick, Rico! Hugs, Carolyn

Trump may be a reincarnated Pope who ruled it was OK to slaughter Native Americans because they had not been baptised! Aloha! Rico

G’day Rico … he really took the heat out of life didn’t he, and now, there’s laws that we break as soon as we open our front door - thank you Rico - Lindsay

Here in Oregon, we have renamed Columbus Day to 'Indiginous Peoples Day' - I like that much better!

Wouldn't Sacagawea Day have been more appropriate for Oregon? Aloha! Rico

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas insists the Constitution does not guarantee anyone the right to personal choice, i.e., if Clarence Thomas wants to have sex with someone, they MUST comply!
