Weekly Poem - What Makes Columbus a Hero

What Makes Columbus a Hero

In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed
And the sailors in the back with their buckets bailed

Because the ships they sailed in were leaky old boats
And the maps they had were very sketchy notes

An entire ocean they had to get across
And the truth is most of the time they were lost

They were looking for India, they didn't find it
But they found the Americas, so they didn't mind it

But they kept track of the journey, west and north
And they figured out how to get back and forth

If anyone asks you what did Columbus really do
Tell them he sailed to America, but he came back, too
