Columbyphilis

ALL those cheap jokes now
About Christopher Columbus
It's Columbus Day! Let's clap!
Or . . . Christopher Columbus
Was here first, all right: That's what she said.
Or Santa Maria! What's happened to Nina!
Or . . . good thing Washington was father of
Our country and not Columbus. We dodged
A bullet there.
It's disrespectful, frankly, to all Americans--
Whether of Italian descent or not--
Who enjoy unprotected sex.
Maybe Columbus was the first man
Back in 1492 to say
''No look, I swear, I'm only going
to put it in a little.''
