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…

Ed, at first I thought it said 1962… lol. I thought you were having flashbacks, or maybe it was just me… lol. Congratulations my friend, may you write many more informative pieces. Peace thru sailing the seven seas!

Ed,
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.

Okay Ed maybe this poem is closer to being true than what you realize. This is what I mean about funny. I will have to mine on Humpty Dumpty revisited.
