Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Who Saw What Lay Ahead

              The year, 1491
                   just ahead of 1492

               The year before Columbus
                   sailed the ocean blue

               Imagine a world before 
                   America was known

               One year before stodgy loyal royals  
                   encountered the planet’s first freedom zone
