Fumble

Columbus did not   
credit himself with finding
Our America

Who then first said this?
Was politics part of game?
Columbus no blame!

Christopher Columbus

How Christopher Columbus
Discovered America, isn't clear.
If I'm not mistaken, the natives
Already knew it was here.

Ah, If Columbus

Ah, If Columbus had not sailed
for America: the new land,
cigarettes wouldn't kill
those feeling the chill...
many would be alive, not dead!

After Death

Be friend of death,
                   cross fetid swamps,
                   or be Columbus and
                  discover "novel world"!?

His Story Replay

Columbus despised local folk
Like Trump, he fibbed as he spoke
But truth be told
He wanted their gold
And you know that man ended up broke

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!

Christopher came among us
going by the name Columbus
far from the Far East
he accomplished at least
the spread of disease like a fungus

landing on a land
that wasn't the one
someone else had
found years before

but all the same

to have been

Picking My Own Kind of Slapstick

Every treaty they make 
makes to cheat me
to
dislocate me 
from my
territory

and on the plains
it is so plain to see
that a treaty's not
worth
diddly squat.

Goodbye Columbus -- Day

In the year fourteen-hundred ninety-two
Indigenous Peoples, Columbus screwed --
  He gave them worthless trinkets
  So now they've 'rethinked' it --
Virtue-signaled Chris' moral turpitude

Toppling Monuments

     Statues, iconoclasts love to destroy
     Toppling monuments brings them great joy
        Keeps them all limber
        As they shout ‘Timber’
      Columbus crashed down saying ~ ‘Land ahoy’

Christopher Columbus

Tarumbus-stanumbus
Christopher Columbus
Went on a voyage to
See the sea blue

And while there he slaughtered
Enthusiastically, 
The people now gone and
He got fame free

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.

Appreciative

Appreciative
  
Six o`clock 
In the morning
Is the best time
To get up when it is summer
Stay on the terrace
Inhale the air
Before it gets hot
Make a coffee
Just being alive
Elderliness is to be grateful
For little things

Star Struck Voyage

Christopher Columbus,
Swopped his compass for a rhombus,
Embarked upon new shores with ‘Ooh arrs,’
That knocked America out with fifty stars

True North

So I'd drive, in an instant,
Miles only minutes between us,
There's no distance,
I'm the minus and you're the plus.
I'll follow my compass,
Down any road that comes forth,
Like Columbus, 
I'm an Explorer baby, you're my true north.

The Face On the Salle De Bain Floor

New tenant, new tile, 
Got me Christopher
Columbus,
Didn't come to 
Harm us 

Or else, I tag him 
Vincent Price,
Twice as nice in 
Dracula Drag.

A message here 
For moving blues? 
Seems clear: Sail On 
Girl, To New World
with flag unfurled

Visionary

a vision is what Columbus saw
looking across the sea

a visionary  is what we become
if we do believe

a vision can be anything, a belief,
a cause a discovery not yet known

a secret place, a cure
an easier way, a seed not yet sown
