‘Columbus’ is a dirty word; don’t say it overloud --
Or you will be strung up by some exacerbated crowd.
The holiday we used to hold to celebrate his life
Is now a firecracker that explodes with lots of strife.
The poor guy cannot catch a break; the hist’ry books revile
All his dash and daring with a sea of petty bile.
I guess we don’t want heroes anymore for holidays.
Instead it’s demographics that we have to sing and praise.
