/// Here’s the moment when Eirikson, (Leiv),
found America, many believe.
Did Columbus come first?
Both explorers are cursed
by the natives, who wished they’d ALL leave.
/// Those Americans who are Norwegian,
claim that Leiv first discovered this region.
They commissioned this oil
where he points to the soil
of the new-found-land. Such tales are legion.
/// But Italians don’t think this is right.
In Columbus Day millions delight.
Who called “dibs” to this place,
(as though it were a race),
is an ongoing bi-ethnic fight.
