Ponce de Leon
In fourteen hundred ninety-three,
Ponce de Leon sailed the sea.
(with Columbus)
He became the governor on Hispanola,
But there was no cola.
He went to Puerto Rico for the same job
And lost it and did sob.
Next he headed off to find the Fountain of Youth
And that's the truth.
He spent a lot of time in Florida, it would seem.
Because he discovered the Gulf Stream.
He tried to start a colony near Sanibel
Oh well.
The natives fought him under the sun
And he died in 1521.
