Columbus remembered

Some people observed the day set aside to remember Christopher Columbus while for others it was just Monday. Italian Americans celebrate Columbus Day as a festival of Italian heritage, while native Americans deplore it.



                          Land Ho

Ole Chris borrowed scratch from the queen
To look for some land yet unseen;
She came up with the dough
To let Christopher go
And see how much stuff he could glean.
