Improbable History<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 1492, something sailed the ocean blue.\u201d
\n\u201cI am wondering about it, just like you.\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019ve heard rumors. They are in my head.\u201d
\n\u201cIt all happened, just like they said.\u201d
\n\u201cBut, what the hell happened,\u201d I asked.
\nAs I sat there scratching my ass.
\n\u201cDidn\u2019t you pay attention in school?\u201d
\n\u201cOf course I did, you dorky fool!\u201d
\n\u201cWell, this was taught in history class.\u201d
\n\u201cSorry.—– That was one I didn\u2019t pass.\u201d
\n\u201cThat is easy enough to tell.\u201d
\n\u201cWould you like a one way ticket to hell?\u201d
\n\u201cDon\u2019t get in an uproar, it\u2019s time to learn.\u201d
\n\u201cThe answer to this riddle we will confirm.\u201d
\n\u201cColumbus sailed the ocean blue.\u201d
\n\u201cIt happened way back in 1492.\u201d
\n\u201cWho gives a hoot about way back then?\u201d
\n\u201cDid he set a speed record, or smuggle gin?\u201d
\n\u201cNO. He discovered America.\u201d
\n\u201cThe New World; and met native Americans.\u201d
\n\u201cWell, blow me down. No wonder I failed.\u201d
\n\u201cI probably slept through such a boring tale.\u201d
\n\u201cThe queen hocked her jewels to pay for his trip.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat? He hocked stolen jewels to make that trip?\u201d
\n\u201cNo wonder he wanted to get away as far as possible.\u201d
\n\u201cNow you\u2019re making a mockery of history. Not plausible.\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019m just telling it in laymen\u2019s words.\u201d
\n\u201cYou\u2019ve earned another \u2018F\u2019. It\u2019s for the birds.\u201d
\n\u201cTeaching you history is an impossible job.\u201d
\n\u201cYou are one person who is very odd.\u201d
\n\u201cSpeak for yourself. One of worthless knowledge.\u201d
\n\u201cTo learn the truth, I will have to go to college.\u201d<\/p>\n
