Columbus Day Dream

            Columbus Day Dream
 
Christopher Colombo was the very one.
          Born in Italy 1451.
Day dreamed of sailing while weaving wool.
    A captain at sea was in his soul.

His quest compelled him westward bound.
God let him know the world was round.
In fourteen hundred and ninety two.
Three ships set sail on the ocean blue.
The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria.
He captained all three and discovered 
              ~~~AMERICA~~~

COLUMBUS DAY OCT.13th.

The day is coming soon. Hopefully, people who are working hard will get a day off. I can see all three ships sailing the ocean blue. Great job! ~Joseph
