Leif Eriksson Day by B Thomas Daniels Tuesday, April 25, 2006 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
500 Years before that Italian fraud The dragonhead of single masted longboats Lead the Norsemen to American shores From the bitter cold of Greenland To the plush pastures of Vineland They came They did not come for slaves They did not come for riches They committed no genocide They did not murder in the name of God They came to find a better life So each year when the 12th of October Comes near And the banks all take a day off Remember Columbus Day is just for them And Leif Eriksson Day is for the rest of us October, 9th is Leif Eriksson Day
