Ode to Columbus Day
Columbus Day has rolled around
we celebrate the man
though not quite sure he found the place
we’ll party as we can
America America it doesn’t matter now
who ‘ere was first to find our shore is history and how.

(Americus Vespucci may deserve credit too, y’know, and we shouldn’t forget the Vikings)
