What say to "The Rest Of The Columbus Story" poem?

Question

Columbus sailed the sea, sea, sea...

What did ole boy eat, eat, eat?

Gull-igan stew? After Isabel's rue...

Over parting with her bread, bread, bread?

Ole boy equipped with bare-worthy ships...

No pantry padding for hungry Dips...Dips?

What else to call his crew, crew, crew?

Well informed if they knew, knew, knew...

They wouldn't fall off the Edge...

But ole boy kept those Viking Maps...

To himself.

Drunk, shanghaied sailors don't read well.

Most snored...way past the Azores...

And, with major hangovers, told ole boy...

Land Ahoy!!!

Answer 1

they threw nets nets nets

for fish fish fish!

Answer 2

I say...dreadful.

Answer 3

I loved "bare-worthy ships...No pants." Well maybe that wasn't what you meant.

That people thought the world was flat and they could fall off the earth was a lie made up by history teachers. They knew the earth was round because of it's reflection off the moon (Venerable Bede, 8th Century.)

This poem gives me a hang-over. Bad, bad doggerel.

Answer 4

Love your humor! As far as the food goes good question just what did they eat back then on those long voyages, Lots of grains and limes, oh course that is where the expression limeys came from(not sure about the spelling of the word) And also beans pew so between the beans no showers and all the sweat--yuk And the drinking wow! I Guess you got me going with that poem--lol  Cheers!

Answer 5

Chips Ahoy,...Now I'm Hungry...!!

Great Poem,.....!!

Answer 6

The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see too.

Good old CC, the seaman. Seized the opportunity. 1492 was a very good year.  

Answer 7

So this is why I failed my test. I was out sick when they covered this.

Answer 8

I was an adult before I learned that Columbus made five trips to the New World and died in disgrace in prison.

Your poem is a light-hearted portrayal of a serious subject.

Answer 9

Viking Maps, let's talk about those for a minute.

And how do you "discover" an inhabited continent anyway?
