Analysis of Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus went sailing west
Putting saliors to the test,
Sailing against ocean waves,
Dodging rocks,storms and caves,
Some Indians gave him a golden mask,
But finding asia was his task,
Today columbus we remember,
He discovered America that day in December.
