christopher columbus
all storm tossed
spent his voyages
totally lost
never made florida
or even maine
on his little
jaunts from spain
the vikings
on the other hand
went and found
old vinland
brendon the monk
n his clerical coat
may have beat the lot
in his leather boat
but then maybe
for trading needs
the egyptians got there first
in their boats of reeds
it aint known for certain who
first found the land of the free
the only thing sure
is it wasn't me
