Plastered & Fractured History…
1692…
In the year of our bored, 1692,
Columbus did sail the oceans to get a clue,
He did not find what he was looking for,
He did however find a wandering Jew…
This Jew and old Chris did strike up a friendship,
Chris giving the Jew passage on his favorite ship,
It was the Santa Maria, captained by Santa’s sister, Maria…
I cannot imagine that even I,
Would see the humor in this piece of trash,
But my humor does seep back, written during a recent crash,
I had to write something special about my 16 hundred and 92 poems,
This being that one, of course, for sure and for certain, I do sigh…

I didn't even know that Chris had a sister. So that's how that ship got the name. Always wondered about that. Thanks for the info.
Congrats!!! on your 1692nd poem. Why didn't you wait for 1700 ? Only 8 away.
